This is the obvious offwidth crack on the far right-hand side of the formation which starts in a left-trending undercling/crack until you reach the wider crack that heads straight up. When the crack ends step right to easy friction that will get you to the top. Easy downclimb to the climber's right.

This climb accepts a full range of gear, it starts thin about red alien/.5 camalot and widens up top to a #4 camalot.; large cams will suffice for anchors
This wretched route is painful, and I'd rate it eight not seven

Led this route back in '97. I don't like traverses, but this is a short one. I disagree about the route being an eight. It is definitely a seven.

Decent enough route. The lower traverse is all buckets with the top being the crux, with a just slightly bigger than fists crack. Two #2 camalots for anchoring the top, just back from the edge. Employ a couple of long runners to make it comfortable.

A thoroughly enjoyable climb. Leading the traverse was awesome!
