Description
Thin crimps on bullet hard rock, with powerful moves between them. The crux is at around fifteen feet with hard underlings.
This was first freed on top-rope by Lynn Hill (in the 90s, I believe). I tried to lead it in '06, but the gear is terrible, and it just didn't make much sense.
In a show of great lateral thinking, Chris Hirsch bouldered this line over a snowdrift in around 06/07 or so. Smart! Most people will probably just TR it, and that makes a lot of sense, but boulder ascents over snow are proud.
Protection
For TR, you just need some cord and carabiners. For trad, you'll want micro-nuts, a blue alien, and a willingness to break an ankle. For boulder, make sure there is a big pile of snow, and maybe 4-5 pads.
