Quarter and a Half

Description 

Hard, bouldery moves lead to tricky finger locks. Gear is tricky to place, especially at the beginning. This route is given 5.8 in the book, so I gave it that grade as well. I felt that this thing was 10/10+.

Location 

This climb is toward the left hand side of the cliff. Locate the curving crack that starts about halfway up the wall, and then look right for a right leaning finger sized crack that joins up with a wide corner. Start on a ledge that is about 6 feet off the ground.

Protection 

double set of cams to #2 camalot, a #4 camalot could be used as well, but is not needed. Small wires are helpful.
