Description

South face of the main pillar with the original send done left to right without use of the platform edge. Once you get to the platform area, you can use it or not. Much like the other traverses, using the platform edge won't change the grade since the meat of the route is towards the start and progressively gets easier towards the right end minus one slippery cruxy move.

The name of the route comes from the (kinda) second crux near the big step, which can mess your ankles up if you botch the move. It’s often wet and your foot can easily slip off. If you have a crash pad, try to protect that move.

Fight the barn door on the finish, grabbing the opposing arete with both hands.

Location

Main pillar south face. Original start is on left arete. Initially, climb upwards two or three blocks till the arete begins to angle where a couple of good full pad edges will begin your traverse right.

Protection

Crash pads!
