Some super thin gear exist, but each spot I could find would fill the limited tips finger crimps/locks that exist. Suggested as a TR.

Description:
Short (as are most hidden routes) but excellent climb, and in my opinion the most technical 5.7 I've ever climbed on. Super fun thin moves and stemming up an open book with a micro seam.

My new favorite Hidden TR.
In my opinion by and far the most technical moderate at Hidden. We saw no clear pro to protect from a ground/ledge fall so we tossed a TR on it. I sent it clean on TR and couldn't help but think how awesome this climb would be if it was twice as tall and more safely leadable on gear or had a bolt or pin in the middle section to protect the thin crux 15-20 feet above the first ledge. Still, one of the more enjoyable moments I've had on TR.
