Description
If you can climb trad at this grade, this one's worth the walk. Start at the overhang directly below the obvious finger crack splitting the upper face. Campus up a move or two, making some committing moves to reach a stance on the face. (no gear for the first 20 feet or so). Place some gear and follow a short hand crack and jugs to reach a great stance in a pod with great hand jams. Sew it up, the business starts here. Work your way up a tips crack with a few difficult finger locks to reach a money lock and then a great horizontal (crux). From here, the difficulty backs down as you follow a tight hands crack with an occasional face hold to the top. (As of 7/09, there were no fixed anchors but a single bomber fixed nut can be used to lower off).
Location
Once you reach the Sunkist Wall, follow the trail to the right side of the cliff. The crack will be obvious.
Protection
Mostly small cams and nuts (< 1"). A #3 camalot can be placed in the pod below the crux.
