Description:

This route faces due east and looks like three rounded flakes that are one. Climb a 5.6 crack to get to the base (good luck finding this). Or rap from the top of Tingey's Terror down (tricky to find anchor but the better way). Beautiful thin hands leads to a tricky traverse to more awesome hands to a wild steep finish (lieback or off-width, be a real climber and lie that puppy back!)The BEST hand crack of it's grade in the wasatch.
