Description:
A fantastic and beautiful line. A must do classic. Begin this climb on darker rock in the middle of the face. The right angling crack of the first pitch is very obvious. The first pitch ends on a small ledge to the right of the crack. The second pitch is an immaculate splitter finger and hand crack. The pitch ends at some bolts on your left. The third pitch is easy and short. It ends atop of the pillar that is the OW section of Spooky. The fourth pitch is really fun and heads right to the top.

pitch 1 to the ledge, then pitch 2 through the crux to a really nice ledge, then 3 to the top. onsighted p1, then fell once at the thin hands on p2. p1 is kind of ugly and awkward.
