Description:
Perhaps the best climb on the cliff, but not for the beginning 5.10 leader! Start about 45 to the right of "Ragged Edges" at a prominent black water streak. Meander up past many horizontal cracks, aiming for a shallow left facing corner dihedral. Keep finding good face holds and go staight up to the terrace and belay. Walk off right/north. FA: John Bachar, Mike Lechlinski, Richard Harrison, spring 1983. A classic old school line..

what everybody else said. I found it very helpful to have the red, pink, and black tri-cams as well as dmm offset nuts.

fun
but be solid, i wouldnt argue .10c on this thing- reminiscent of Clean and Jerk- pumpy and steep start with sparse gear to a more relaxed upper section, but tricky gear (unlike C&J). bring lots of stoppers on this one, including rp's.

Good clean fun.
Definitely a John Bachar route. Not a ton of gear for the first 30 ft., and maybe an old school 10a but a new school 10c, as a warning. Apparently this used to be 5.8?
