Description

A beautiful small hands crack that is left facing for the first half of the climb than right facing for the second half. In the middle there is a good rest on a jam undercling, than the crux comes at the direction change of the crack after the rest. Classic!

Location

This is the last good route before the wall bends to the North. At the bend there is a fin of rock jutting Southwest, this climb is about 30 feet to the right of this fin and is hard to miss if you have read the description.

Protection

There are two trees above for top-roping. Best practice is to create an anchor prior to climbing using the trees, rap down using a static or thick rope all the way to the ground. After leading the pitch with a second rope, rap on your original line to prevent rope grooving in the soft sandstone. Cams where tested with up to 6 foot lead falls and worked. But treat all gear in PDC as suspect.
