Description:
Several parallel left-leaning cracks and discontinuous seams are situated left of SKyline's chimney start. Start up the right crack (first crack left of SKyline chimney) then traverse left 10' to a wide diagonal crack. The route continues directly above through a swath of pink rock (11c) to awide diagonal crack. The route continues directly above to the top of the step, but a sligh zig-zag right and up along the diagonal then zag back left may be required to establish yourself in the upper crack. Small wired stoppers and gear to 2.5"Descent Options:
Least complicated descent is to downclimb Skyline's chimney right of the route. Otherwise climb to top of Skyline's 3rd pitch and descend under Crystal Caper.

hard
flashed but had to give it everything through the crux... weird moves, sustained, but stellar finish.
