Description:
Begin in a right facing corner with a drilled pin about 20 feet up. Pitch 1 is pretty forgetful. Pitch 2: Head straight up the right facing corner. The crack thins out just before the anchors, but the abundant face holds make it way easier than it looks. Not 10+. Nevertheless, a fun pitch.

1st pitch is ugly - my wife tore a huge chunk off which almost hit me. The 2nd pitch is pretty cool, though. The last 20' to the anchors is a spectacular fingers lieback.

Aesthetic corner
Would have lead but daylight was running out after having done Mars Attacks. Stemming the finish section seemed to take the fingersize issue out of the picture. I lean more towards the harder side of 5.10.

My best trad flash to date!! Is it flash or onsight if you scoped the route out on rappel before climbing? Probably flash. Damn Ron I know you're strong but I'll consider this 10d for my personal satisfaction. I've never deadpointed on a finger tip crack before but I went for broke and made it!!!

felt like 10d to me, probably feels much easier if you have small fingers.

Fun second pitch. More like 10a/b.
