BETA PHOTO: B-2 (5.3) is the middle crack of the three promina...
Description
On the left side of the west face of Trashcan Rock (facing the large parking area), there are three wide, ugly-looking cracks. From left to right, they are B-3, B-2, and B-1.
B-2 is an awkward, unaesthetic chimney. Definitely my least favorite of the three. You're probably better off avoiding this one.
Protection
Hand sizes and up. Some longer slings may come in handy to anchor up above. Walk off north.
I've seen soloists walking up and down the other routes on this rock get on to this route and pause about half way up, look around a little, and seem a little uncomfortable as they finished off this "5.3". Agree with Blitzo on this one.
Still a great route for an aspiring leader - plenty of pro options and pretty good practice for hand jamming. You can do the whole climb as a contrived stemming (hands and feet) exercise as well which probably makes it more like 5.7
