BETA PHOTO: Pinky Lee (5.10d/11a)


Description 

Seen from afar as a striking thin crack, closer inspection reveals this to be a mere seam at the start with somewhat marginal protection. Once past the bouldery start the angle relents and the seam widens into a nice finger crack that eats gear and, unfortunately, is over far too quickly.

Seldom led due to the committing nature of the crux moves - a fall will likely plant you on the sloping ledge at the base, but easily toproped from the anchors of nearby Swing Low.


Location 

Located just to the right of Swing Low (5.7) and two routes to the right of R.A.F. (5.9).


Protection 

thin to 2", bolted anchor/rap (shared with Swing Low)

Glad someone said it (^^^^^^). Felt a lot harder than 10d to me.

Worth TR-ing if you're coming off of R.A.F. or Swing low.
