Description

Microgear and memorable exposure characterize this fine trad line. It starts about 15 feet right and downhill from

Vector Madness

by climbing a discontinuous seam up into and out the top of a short corner and toward an obvious, gently overhanging Lost Arrow crack. From the top of the LA crack climb a left-facing corner until possible to step right to easy ground. From here continue up for about 15 feet and step left onto a nice red face leading to the top. Tricky gear placements are required to protect the starting seam and KB crack, but patience and craft make it suitably safe.
