Description:
Most obvious dihedral in this area Locker hand/finger crack in a just-more-than-vertical corner that also leans to the left, making it a pretty strenuous climb. Crux is an awkward move around a boulder capping the corner. The rusty bong that resided as the first piece of pro has sadly been removed. (last sighted Oct., 1999)

sweet.
good gear all the way. took a rather "direct" finish up through the blocky roofs on the right. not sure if it's standard but I did a "beached whale" move several times!
