Description 

Perfect hands in the back of a really tight v notch. Climb up this with great gear up to a small roof, pass this on the right to a stance. Up 10' of tight fingers and another 10' of perfect handcrack to the ledge. There is a slung block to belay from. We did this as a one pitch climb, it does connect with WG, but that is for another day. If you like handcracks, this is second only to reppy's on cannon!

Location 

400 feet downhill and to the left of WG, 200 feet left of meatgrinder is this perfect hand crack. Look for an obvious left facing tight V-groove.

Protection 

Standard rack with 2-2 and 2-3. Save a 3 for the top!!!
