Description:

Starts to the right of Pinhead and Slight of Hand on the West face. Starts on some flakes and goes into a right facing corner with a thin crack. Awesome calf pumping stemming until it is possible to access a thin crack to the right. Thin crack moves to the top as your calves depump. Pro is small but bomber. As good a pitch as I have done on the Sorcerer, believe it or not.

4 out of 5 stars Bring the little gear!

Beautiful climbing up thin cracks. Surprisingly well protected for how thin the cracks look from below.
