Description

There are 2 crack options, left side is 10a hand crack, right is is listed as 10c ( very hard start for 10c ) Excellent finger crack, followed by some nice tight hands and finishes with OW. The book said 4" crack, while I did use a #4, I was glad to have a #5- was the only thing that fit the upper 10' before a left side horn. The book calls this OW finish 5.8, figures all chimneys and OW are 5.8,and in 1979 it would have been hard to protect this. I think that if your knee fits in a #5 crack you will feel chill on this, for me it was hand stack, slide, slither fest. Of course if you are more bold you could lay-back.

Location
