This is the crack left of the Crucible. It is a finger crack found inside a shallow dihedral. Mount this climb via a jug flake at the bottom and work your way into the crack. Crux near the bottom. When I flailed on this 17 years ago some "old" cat said it required one to rotate 180 degrees progressing upwards. I think he hoping we'd try that and get a laugh. Not as popular as the Crucible, but a worthy exercise.
Location
After cresting the road to the summit, continue west down the road through the city of antennas. Just as the last antenna is past by, this route and its good looking sister the "Crucible" are found on the boulder to ones left.
Man! This is a great climb! I do this just about every time I do the Crucible. There's no 180 degree thing required. There are a couple of hard moves right off of the ledge.
