This excellent three-tiered hand crack in found in the center of the west face of Fraggle Rock and is well worth the (somewhat) lengthy approach. The climb finishes directly via some run-out face climbing but a better protected "escape" (5.10b) can be made by cutting right at an obvious break.
Fun, well-protected climbing in an area that is seldom visited by others is a bonus to this route as are the many other worthwhile climbs nearby.
When visiting please be sure to leave the area as nice as you found it, if not nicer, and respect the nearby artifacts and curios from another era.
On the first ascent Vaino finished straight up instead of finishing right as indicated in the guidebook photo. This makes the climb a bit sporty, as protection is sparse at the top after the crack ends.
