Tom D setting the good jam to start the crux of Sh...

Description 

Located in the center of the formation, this climbs face up to a prominent crack system and then finishes up that.

Start just left of The Showdown (5.12a) and climb plated face up to a steep but somewhat chossy double crack system. The crux is more easily accomplished if a hand jam is used, but the rock is well-featured and can be face climbed as well. Once past the crux, finish up and right with an easy bit of slab to anchors on a ledge.

There are some good moves on this climb, but the choss factor and lack of continuous climbing detract from the overall quality.

Protection 

6 bolts, chain anchors
