Description:

A beautiful clean face, and maybe the most aesthetic route in GA. Face and thin crack moves past a small tree growing out of the rock. Second stance, at about 25 ft, allows placement of great small nut (#2 walnut) for the thin fingerlock pod crux. Continue face climbing trending left on fun edges to twin thin cracks just below a small roof. Move up the thin cracks to a handcrack in the back of the corner that forms the roof. Belay on the ledge just above.

5 out of 5 stars Sustained and beautiful

Beautiful route! Relentless crimp climbing for 150 feet or more. We had climbed Mescaline Daydream just to the left, then rapped down Flying Frog, leaving us with a good toprope. I did fall at the crux but got back on and completed it.
