Patrick leading the fist crack! Thankfully!!!

Per Adam, #4, #3, clip and extend fixed piece, 0.4 with extended sling, lead on.

Patrick through the crux and on his way to the top. Such a stellar route!!!

Kevin's working this bad boy after it works him! Round Two!

Starting the moves into the wide crack. You can continue from here in at least 3 ways: commit to the crack and squeeze/jam it; barndoor layback the crack; or, most elegantly (which I have as yet been unable to do), stem all the way.

Me going for it, flailing but managing nonetheless. Those hand jams are REALLY nice!
