Description
This route has a low crux negotiating an undercling/smeary traverse. It is fun and easy to protect with small cams and nuts. Turn the roof on the right and follow a crack system with good gear up to more bulges. At this point a couple of traverses to the left are possible but the climbing eases and you can choose the best looking line. Finish on the ledge where Finger Zinger anchors are located and rap with two ropes.
Location
Just right of the Finger Zinger face and before the normal approach for the Nose there is a low but obvious arching roof. Start in the right facing corner and undercling through the "arch" of the roof.
Protection
Standard Organs rack required. All sizes and configurations can be used but singles from small (.3) to Camalot #2 and nuts with some slings for drag will get you there. Finger Zinger anchor can be used for rap. I use double ropes to deal with the drag on this route and you need two ropes to get off the route safely.
