Description:
Awesome, harder variation to One Hand Clapping. P1: climb Firecracker (.10b) or New Moon (.10d) to the upper section of the first pitch of One Hand Clapping. P2: go out the roof on the second pitch (.9) of One Hand Clapping. P3: instead of traversing left to Lizard Ledge, head up and slightly right to Fascination (.10c), a thin crack that takes ok gear. The crux on this route is the last move on the last pitch.

Fascinated with this one
The last pitch will definitely grab your attention. All bolted anchors were in mint condition as of 07/14/13. Middle way through the last pitch I clipped an old bolt and then did a right angled traverse to the thin crack which was very fun. After getting on this thin crack the pro was a little tricky, but small cams will do the trick. Hats off to whoever solo's this seldom climbed pitch.

yes.
I don't agree with Wyoclimber: the crux is actually a thin stemming move with very small fingers about halfway up the last pitch. Done it many times, but only once without a rope. Be careful of crappy old anchor at base of last pitch.
