This route is just to the right of

Hands Off

. It is short, sweet, and hard. The long list of hard men that put this is up probably tribute to that.

The hardest moves are right from the beginning with very small fingers and marginal feel (for a 5.8 climber anyway). It gets easier (ha) as you ascent with a good shallow hand jam to rest on half way up. It's only 40-50 feet long, but it gives a good workout.

Protection

Small, small gear, maybe a #1. Anything goes for an anchor.

There is a stuck, unclippable TCU down low in the dihedral.
