Description:
Begin just left of Spider Wand and climb the right facing flake system until it ends. Continue up the face to the top (Insert Me or make several face moves and traverse left to the top anchors on Happy Hands). Poor protection on top.

Had followed years before. Found gear every 8-10 ft up high, trucker gear in horizontals. Climbing is hard and tenuous but if you climb to the last ledge before heading for the anchors, this route is reasonably protected.

Cool start ...
and a tricky finish... because of potential nasty fall on poor pro (top), this is better climbed on top rope (lead Happy Hands 1st)
