Description
This was the route that inspired it all.
The unique fine-grained and smooth Aplite rock, short but sweet, parallel sided, vertical and thin finger to hands to a pedestal, with thin 5.10a face exit moves to the right. The route is sustained for its rating.
The FA used pitons, wires and friends and was done with EB shoes, but with the advent of TCU's and small cams, pitons are no longer necessary.
Location
South Side of the Dome Follow climbers access route to the southwest side of the dome. Rock scramble up to a belay ledge at the base of the slightly left leaning white crack. (it's so obvious because it is such a beautiful thin crack -- you may feel you are climbing in Yosemite!)
Protection
Smallest cams to hand sized cams, small wires, 1 bolt at the exit crux moves.
