| Starts on the ledge just right of the start of Hotter Than Hell, just left of an oak tree next to a large block. |
This climb has a bit of everything: moderate crack and face climbing, a gorgeous finger crack and a difficult (and rarely done) crescendo finish.
Pitch 1: Climb the block up onto the slab and a left angling crack. Follow the crack up and left, across the line of Hotter Than Hell, to a small tree.
Pitch 2: Continue up the moderate crack passing a dished out area on its left up to the large Inferno tree ledge.
Pitch 3: Start up Inferno and step left around some small trees and step into the Tranquility finger crack. At a stance with a ledge to the right, pull over a bulge with tricky gear, or step left and belay or finish on Inferno.
