Description

Bit of a guess at the name; there is a broken plaque at the base of the route that reads "Prick (broken) Peak  5.(broken)". About 10 feet of tips up a steep slab and shallow right facing corner leads through the crux and up to a low-angle, right-facing flare with a good finger crack that slowly widens near the top.  Follow the crack to the anchors. Good, moderate climbing after the crux.  Crux protected well with blue alien and #1 BD C3, then up through the sizes to #2.

Not really sure on the rating,,, the crux felt really desperate to me.  The name, FA, and rating may need some future revisions.

Location

Route located about 30 feet right of "Back in the Saddle" and 50 feet left of "Shayna's First Big Wall".  There is a deep flare immediately to the right with a faint plaque reading "Dead Reckoning".

Protection

Blue alien through #2. Mostly fingers.
