Description
The crag is split by a large ledge system. This finger crack starts off a 20' flake off the ledge. The clean finger crack arches up the white/gray varnished face to a ledge 40' below the top. This quality pitch is ~100' long. A short steep 5.8 hand crack takes one to the top. We did a long rappel off runners on two knobs to the right of the crack.
