Description

This route may have received only a few ascents, since it is hidden away, but is on a very cool feature, a thin curving flake forming a shallow corner that runs right up along the edge of an overhang. It is high above and a little to the right of the Who Done It crack and was originally approached by first doing Electric Socks and then rapping off towards the right to find a two bolt anchor at its base. The addition of Live a Muerte has given another good approach option. Climb that route, continue past the anchor to the ledge. Clip a draw to the ledge anchor and scramble up the ledge/ramp to the right where you will find the 2 bolt anchor at the base of this climb.

Jam and undercling your way out the exposed overhanging flake.

Location

High and right of the finish of Electric Socks. Note - The description was correct, but the route was misplaced a few hundred feet in the earlier, pre 2017 guidebook drawing. Get down with two raps off the bolted anchors, being especially careful not to knock stuff down while crossing the choss down low or when pulling the rope. (the route itself is on excellent rock)
