Description:

P1 (crux pitch): Scramble onto block-strewn ledge to the right of Brain Dead. To the right of the Hogs & Horses seam, look for line of fixed heads & occasional flaky overlaps. When it looks blank, you'll find a bathhook hole. Do not fall before the first bolt. The thin offset near the end takes shallow RURPs. P2: follow somewhat easier aid up from the belay, then link up to a belay out left. Finish on Remember Appomatox.

Note: I have only done P1 on this route, although it is the crux. I added it to the route database just to get more info online. This is a very thin line. All the gear between the bolts is marginal. If you fall before the first bolt you will get seriously hurt. The 1/2" deep "dihedral" near the end of P1 is so tight & sharp, it cut the cable on the first RURP I tried to place. The huge detached flake next to the belay will make your jaw drop. Fun pitch...
