Overview
FA: Scott Cole, Urmas Franosch, July 1986.

A bouldery start leads to some easy climbing, then a flared hand crack to a powerful undercling/lieback crack that leads to a thin hand crack and the first belay of Pencil-Necked Geek. Originally protected by a piton (that pulled out with a single finger in 2008!), the bouldery start takes some good thin nuts and thin cams. A bit grainy.
