A beautiful black flake that is another Web-quality trad line. I went for it ground up, and got spooked by the wedged blocks on the traversing section, resorting to aid to test the blocks.  A bit spooky on the upper section for the leader and follower,what with the blocks and the groove coming into play on the right for both climbers. Gets early shade.P1 5.11b: The first 20’ is a bit hollow. Excellent hands and fists (5.9) lead 50’ up the flake to where it ends. A hard move straight right, then angle right under small roofs (some spooky rock) and into a groove. Follow the groove easily to a fixed anchor on the left. 85’

Start: 20’ right of Just Can’t Get Enough . Begin at the obvious black, right-facing flake that curves spectacularly up and right.

Gear: Camelots red C3 thru #4, small and med nuts, additional #3.5 and two extra #3 Camelot
