Overlooked 10c

Description

20 feet of sport climbing protected with 3 bolts, to an awesome trad crack that is safe and protects with great gear.

From Darren here is the beta: while you are standing on the rest ledge, you get to protect right off the bat. Reach high, place a large nut (you can use an #8 #9 or #10 from any company) right above were the crack goes steep to vertical...clip a quickdraw to it, yank it hard to set it, because the next moves are tricky and pumpy, and remember that nut is what you are most likely to fall on, but that's what nuts are for!...Do a few moves, reach up and set that large 6" green cam you've seen in those offwith movies, in the middle of the steep climbing. If you forgot yours, do a few more moves to the dead vertical terrain were you can place a silver 1.5", green 1.75 (my choice), or a red 2" cam. The rest is really fun climbing...clip the anchors. Congrats! You just redpointed "Overlooked 10c."
