Slight of Hand

A climb with a definite balancy and thin crux sequence and some more moderate climbing.

Start on the ground in indistinct but moderate terrain protecting wherever possible, with an eye to reaching the distinctive climbing. The target is a few bolts on a steep face near a "wrinkle" or perhaps you might call it a shallow seam in the rock. As you reach the hard moves, you can clip a bolt before committing to some thin and off-balance moves. The climb is probably honest 5.11b. Continue and the difficulty eases. Head up and slightly left over moderate terrain with trad gear again to the shared, bolted anchor as for the 2 climbs on either side.

The route is a variation of sorts between '

'. It may share some of the indistinct terrain down low and merges up high to a shared (bolted) anchor.

A rack of gear to 2" including nuts and cams + a few draws.
