MapDescription
A solid first half on grey pocketed rock leads to a large diagonal weakness at the base of the softer and more sculpted tan rock. Avoid a large blob of guano while surmounting a cruxy bulge then crimp your way up slightly friable rock trending right to a stance just left of the top the arete.
Continuing up the next short pitch (10d, 6 bolts, 70m rope) is an option but the bolt line starts a few feet to the right, use runners or get into it from Hell Fire.
Location
On the far right side of the clamshell about 10' left of the large dihedral of Hell Fire. If you get to the pine tree you've gone too far and you're looking at Sidewinder
Protection
16 draws to chain anchors shared with Agent Orange. Add 6 or 7 more draws if you plan on linking into the upper pitch.
