Description:
Shares the same hard dihedral start as womb w/ a view then climbs right towards a small roof. Then traverse left on a slab section towards the arete. The guide books says it's possibly the best route in Clark Canyon w/ 5 stars. Super long, very fun, and exposed.

My cup of tea. The first pitch is for the trad climber in mind or someone with good stemming technique or hand jamming technique on slabby type of rock. Neither of which I have. The second part I was over with it. although the view from the anchors is pretty stellar.

Onsight ascent by:
Tasty.
Crux depends on your taste: technical stemming down low, pumpier stuff up high. Fun the whole way.

Best in Clark Canyon!
A solid 10d the whole way up. I found the crux to be the steep slopey arete towards the top, not the dihedral
