Description

Climb the left-facing dihedral into a cool, short off-width section through a bulge. Then you're on the ledge and ready to begin the diagonal crack going up to the left. Is it a crack, or is it a row of petrified pirhana mouths? I'm no palentologist, but I think it's the latter.  Follow that as it gradually widens to bigger than fists and the foot holds disappear to your left. Pass the anchors on Helen Keller's Slot and fight through the last few feet of diagonal slot to the anchors. Bolted anchors are up over the bulge a bit, so consider bringing a double length sling or two to extend them for rope drag considerations.

Location

Sanitarium right side. Look for the awesome diagonal crack that goes up and to the left.

Protection

Double rack from .2 to 4 (camalot sizes), nuts, couple long slings to extend the initial vertical crack, QuikClot or styptic pencil.
