Description:
On the shady side of the Nautilus. Most easily approached from the SE side, past the Torpedo Tubes. Look for a shallow left-facing corner that starts off a block, then flips to a big right-facing corner about 12 ft up, all capped by a rightward roof traverse. First part is delightful 5.8 fingers and hands, perhaps my favorite climb at the 'Voo. Each move is aesthetic; no two moves are the same. Chains where the crack intersects the roof (1 rope rap). P2 traverses under the roof along a sloping hand ledge with undercut feet and ... well, w/out ruining the adventure for ya, let's just say wearing a snug wool hat might be helpful. (10d)

1st Pitch Only...
We only climbed the stellar first pitch as we were unduely frightend off by the grade of the second pitch. The first pitch is a sweet handcrack that goes at 5.8. Just great climbing though.

Where'd my confidence go?
Had been leading strong until I got to this point, saw my partner get wigged out on it and pretty much lost all my confidence. Another friend rolled up and put the rope up for us, so I can't onsite it now, but I do know that I had nothing to be afraid of.

Got it, all of it! Finally! This was my first climb in the Voo. I remember looking at that traverse in awe. A year and a half later I started working it. Brit, wish you coulda been there.

Ascent Note
I've only done the (stellar) 5.8 first pitch of this route, one of my favorite so far at Vedauwoo. Lead this in a light drizzle right before a big thunderstorm moved in. Starts with a fairly steep tricky finger crack (crux) in a corner for about 15', the angle then drops off a bit and the crack turns into bomber hands for the last 50' or so. Fun fun fun.
