Description:
Perhaps the best problem in Bishop! Start at a prominent flake jug above the grainy slab, and follow the amazing patina up and across to the far right before a long hard pull gains holds leading into the good upper flakes. Take care: The rock at the left has broken more than one leg! Beginning higher, off the top of the low rock makes the problem a little easier (V7).

Really Fun
A great line with some good crimps, finish is high enough that you don't want to fall.

Super Aesthetic line in beautiful scenery. Good view of Iron Man Traverse. Crimps are really good and provide for some beautiful movement. Awesome line. Stand start is a V7.
