Description
Industry standard for 5.10+ wiggling. It's a chimney, it's a flare, it's a fist crack, it's a lieback..... it's a classic! Perfect rock and good pro in the back of the crack. Shady in the afternoons.
The FA team were masters at their craft, so if you are just breaking into the wide and horrible world of 5.10 OW, do a RedBull or something before heading up this one.

Location
Arches Terrace area. This climb points East in a small alcove directly left of a large slabby inset. The route Hangdog Flyer is directly above 1096 and uses the same anchor. 1096 is to the right of Arches Terrace and Greasy But Groovy. Can't miss it if you walk along the base.
Protection
Bring a few small cams for the start, then the business section takes cams around 4". You might need 3 or 4 of these. There might be a fixed pin and fixed #10 hex in the thing.... or there was on 7/07.
