Description 

This is a good climb to get on if your fingers are fat. The first half of the climb is tricky to protect, but lots of fun. From the big ledge half way up, follow the beautiful big fingers crack in a dihedral. Much harder for small fingered folk.

Location 

Left to right on the Obscenity wall:
Toadstool is the flared finger crack below the big pine tree.
Red Snapper is the 3 wide cracks below the big pine tree.
Fingering the Avatar is the clean dihedral just a little down canyon from the big pine tree.

Rap to the ground and climb broken rock to get to the dihedral.

Protection 

2 each to #2 Camalot, 1 #3 Camalot, extra 0.4 Camalot and 0.5 Camalot size.
