Description

A splitter offwidth going from five to six inches in width up a 50° overhanging shield with a shallow pod in the middle.  Pure levitation at it's finest. Hard to grade, but a definite step up from other "5.13's" I've repeated. 

Location

Park at (or walk to from the chapel) chicken point and walk into the wilderness zone straight south. It is the second or third ridge on the left and a small cairn marks where to scramble up the loose hill to where you must do a exposed traverse on the limestone band to reach the base. If you walked too far the route will be obvious.  It gets morning shade and then is usually pretty warm mid day.  Holds shade longer in the spring .
