Seam-Stress

Description

This is the short, thin seam in between

Frigidaire

and

Gollum's Arch

. The gear is good, but hard to place, and the climbing is thin, sequential, and feels quite steep for a Lumpy seam. When the seam ends above the bulge, step left into Frigidaire. Finish on that route or build an anchor in it for some TR fun (big finger-sized pieces).

This is one of several excellent and hard pitches of similar character in the Hens and Chickens / Gollum's Arch area. Within a couple hundred yards of each other you have

Two In The Pink

(11+) and

Hagakure

(12a) on the Hens and Chickens; and Seam-stress (11d),

Wrath

(12), and

Latch Hand

(11c) on Gollum's Arch. They all climb desperate little seams on small gear and make up a kick-ass collection of hard pitches.

Protection

Bring RP's, small stoppers, cams to 1".
