MapDescription
This route and it's neighbor (
Smithereens
) lie on the shorter face left of
Rock Candy
and climb heavily featured thin cracks with lots of varnish.
Face climbing with the occasional jam is the name of the game here with the crux a thin move above a horizontal crack around mid-height. Higher, as you near the top the protection is somewhat scarce, but the generous nature of the holds makes this of little concern. The anchor is set back from the edge on a comfortable ledge so if planning to toprope you'll need to extend it.
A good climb but not on par with neighboring routes like Split Personality or Rock Candy. Two stars out of five.
Protection
pro to 1.5" (wires work especially well), bolted anchor/rap (3/8")
