Small holds, big moves
I think this climb is a bit easier if you're over 6 feet tall...

The name is wrong
It's actually "Sleight of Hand," a pun on the fact that if your hands are sleight, ie, smaller, this will be easier for you.
My hands are not sleight. They're fat.
This is best done as one long pitch. The bolt is comically bad.

Something different...
We did this in 3 pitches, climbing Phosphorescent Flow (5.10 R) instead of the big corner, then a short easy pitch to the base of the corner, then a pendulum and out to the top. The pendulum is kind of freaky, but my suggestion is to sling the big horn to protect the crux move, then dislodge the sling once you're above it, so as to prevent nasty drag.

Sustained Fun
First pitch is the scariest, in my opinion. There were some fixed nuts in the thin parts.

Spelled wrong
It's "Ankles Aweigh," like the song "Anchors Aweigh."
Anyway...great climb (gasping for breath). Typical Needles corner: stem, palm, fiddle with gear, repeat.

Classic!
Well protected at the crux. Make sure to bring a .75 and #2 for the top traverse. Gear is good but well-spaced.

Lightning City
Finished this in a light slushy rain. Typical CO summer day, I guess. Easy to link pitches 1-2 or 2-3, though watch for drag.

best route at this crag
Very fun, more continuous than the surrounding routes. Take a #1 camalot for the anchor.
