Description
From the ground, the line is unlikely but as you gain progress on the route, it all comes together nicely for an "engaging" line.Gain the short, shallow, left-facing corner (crux) and follow the corner/crack to its end. Traverse left briefly to a bolt and follow features up to gain a chicken head and another bolt. Trend up and rightish past incuts, hollow flakes and a bolt to a tricky exit move to the slabby ledge and the fixed anchor. Alternatively, exit on to the slabby ledge by heading up and slightly left from the chicken head past hollow flakes.Radio Flier Variation Start (5.11b PG): Start approximately 5 feet to the left of the left-facing corner and make bouldery moves to gain the finger crack (micro cam, tricky, crucial placement) and make hard moves right to a bolt up to a stance. Crank one more reachy move on fairly good holds (cutting it close to a ground fall, can protect in the Flexi Flier corner with a long sling) to join the original line at the buttonhead bolt
