Description

Dihedral with loose flakes, tricky bulges/overhangs to surmount, and some gravel.

Location

If rappelling from the top of Laceration Jame (the wide chimney with an old buttonhead bolt at the top), continue down to the bolted belay on Laceration, then beneath that stance are two dihedrals. The climber's right dihedral is Killing Me Softly. The dihedral on the left is Queen of Venus.

Protection

Not sure on the pro, I just toproped it.
