Ascends small pockets and edges on the right side of Mighty Wall, as seen in the picture.  Delicate thin moves in the beginning lead to a steeper but solid top out that, like it's neighbor, one doesn't want to fall off of.  Similar in grade to the somewhat thuggish West Corner, but a more delicate, technical line.

West Corner

"Starts in an undercling hueco four feet right of the seam. Climbs small, hard to see edges" (Colorado Bouldering, 48).

According to Benningfield's guide, this problem is a 4, which I believe feels more like a 3. Possibly harder for shorter people. It is a fun problem nonetheless.

This is one of my favorite problems at Carter, reminiscent more of the steep, crimpy lines at Hueco Tanks than most Dakota fare.

It can be ass-started for the full V5 grade, or done from a stand-up at V4.

Begin low and left of the crack line in the center of the wall, sit-starting on incut slots/crimps. Pimp up tinies for a move or two, slap left to the arete, then power up for better holds, including a fractured-looking but seemingly bomber flake. Mantel over to finish, watching for loose rocks over the lip.

In the middle of the rock at the base is a tiny cave-like something.  Start there, traverse a a little right, and generally follow the crack up.
