Ben on perfect fingers


Description 

Thin crack start first 40 ft (thin cams,nuts) opens to perfect fingers then hands in a slot, a few layback moves to the top. Two cruxes, one in the beginning (thin and balancy) another one in the slot/flare near the top.


Location 

Located on the Lower Walts Rocks. Follow approach as per Walts, but before you climb up to White Rain Area, hike left out of the main approach wash well below Upper Walts. Easy approach from the wash then boulder hop to the base.


Protection 

Good gear everywhere on this one. Bring the thin gear, lots of finger size up to #1 Camalot. Trad anchor and walk off right through a vegetation choked gully (not bad).

this route is pretty much responsible for the "discovery" of the Underground, that and my very slow second!
