A beautiful, varnished left facing dihedral. "Not your typical Creek route" - a description which seems to be becoming more and more typical.

The corner begins easy enough, with good stances and occasional finger pods, but progressively ramps up in difficulty before the final crescendo of burning calves, tiny gear, and trusting the rubber.

Unless you have tiny, tiny fingers, expect to climb this route with your legs more than your hands. The inside of the crack is varnished, making the small gear feel very solid. You can place cams every inch of the way, but you'll likely commit to sequences above your gear at some point.

Yeah, it's short, but it's pretty sweet. Makes for a friendly and accessible first Creek lead, or an unintimidating way to practice what are generally considered "bad sizes". Lucky for Ilana, she gets thin hands in baggy .5's, but the rest of us will be left wondering when the last time we finger stacked on a 5.9 was.

Lots of face holds, less than vertical, and definitely not the shortest route in the Creek (ever been to Pistol Whipped?).

Fun, fairly friendly offwidth. Good for practicing the dreaded #6's - at least I dread them.

Start up a section of #3's and #4's in a flare to gain a ledge. Get psyched, then launch into steep 5's and 6's to the chains out left.

Nice, varnished wide hands and fist crack. Somewhat of a right facing corner. A little steep at the start, and gets a little wide at the top.

One of the classics of the wall. Crisp tight hands and finger stacks in a right facing corner.

It's located in a fairly recent rock scar, on some aesthetic pink Wingate. Great friction and good feet.
