Across the choss

Description

 Start up sometimes frighteningly chossy patina, with descent protection, as it follows a right arching crack until it hits an obvious clean wide right leaning Crack at about 40 feet. Climb this until it hits a ledge and the back wall. There is a small ledge about 3/4 of the way up to split it into two pitches if the rope drag is to heavy.  Looks like you could continue up and left from the top for a short second pitch at a similar grade, but we rappelled from two nuts in a small alcove about 5 feet down and right. We used double rope but a 70 meter might work as well.

Location

Start about 20 feet right of coffin corner.  Aim for the obvious wide right leaning crack about 40 feet up.

Protection

We brought double .3-4 with an extra 2 & 3, A five could be used if you have one
