Description

Perhaps the proudest aid route on the face. Hard off the deck, so thin you can't see the thing until you are on the route. Lots of beaking, lots of natural stretches of hooking, hard desert-alpine free climbing at the top. Another futuristic Klaus Route. Don't make this your first nailing route.

Location

The route starts in the next crack lookers left of Angel Hair and goes plumb-line to the top.

Protection

Full Aid rack, extra beaks, two sets of all hooks, big huevos. Please note: the A3+ rating relates to fall/injury potential and not to the difficulty. Furthermore, in keeping with Zion tradition, A3+ here is likely to be more severe than routes of the grade on the Captain.
