Description:
hand crack start to a horizontal ledge with some funky balancy moves that widens into an offwidth that requires some imagination (and the occasional 18" body cam), with a couple ledges leading up to a roof for good rest. must top out through some small brush to reach a tree with some fixed slings to rap off. faces SE for early season and morning warmth

Hard 5.9... a wee sand-bagged, but that's part of the RED trad experience. Fell once on lead, would like to get it clean one day.

Oh Man!
Just a blast, some crazy positions, and I can't wait to try it again when I get back there! (so I can make it all the way up, a work in progress for me) Was dry in early spring
