The 2nd pitch of Green Spur. To me, the crux was the beginning offwidth - pumpy, tricky feet, and a chance to fall on your belayer. The technical crux was actually fun.

Mike works up the 5.8 finger crack below the dihedral crux. The start of the tricky, wide 5.9 section (which Mike bypassed) is just visible on the bottom left.

One of the most BA 5.9 pitches!
