Description 

In a large alcove on the south face of Echo Rock, starting near the ground, are three closely space crack routes. This is the center one. It's one of the warmest places in the park on a sunny morning. The climb is a hand and fist crack, with poor protection. I can imagine the route name was Charles' response to a belayer asking why he wasn't placing any nuts.

Protection 

a standard rack, but there aren't many good placements
