Description

This is the prominent line that catches your eye up the large dihedral of the crag. Short, yep, but fun. Pump, commitment, gear placements all packed into 25 feet of climbing.

This little crag lies about 9 miles from Elephant Buttresses up the canyon. It is best visualized from the uphill side. Scramble up. Obscure, yes. Long, no. Fun, Yes.

Easier than Proton and

Neutron Star

but full value. Fire up this corner with good holds. Its brief steepness at the crux requires more muscle than technique. Good pro minimizes the flying. It's over quickly but likely you've broken a sweat, eh? 11a, doubt it (ya gotta look at the first ascentionists); however in some locales when the ratings run a bit soft, it might be rated such. Gives you respect for those who tread here before thee.

Protection

To a #4 Friend. There is room for a yellow Alien, 2 x #2 Friend, #3 Friend, red Alien, #1 1/2 Friend. #3 1/2 Friend, orange Alien and tree for anchor.
