Description 

The crux comes right away. The thin dirt-filled finger crack has thin pro and moves. When I climbed this, it felt a bit harder, since I was digging pine needles out of the crack with my nut tool so I could place pro and get my fingers in. Once past the offending pine tree, the climbing gets a lot cleaner. The crack system eventually becomes a chimney. Belay on a ledge at 180'. Another 180' pitch leads to the top on more grainy 5.7 terrain.

Location 

Left side of the Roadwork Wall. 3rd-class descent to the left.

Protection 

1-2 each cams, fingers to a 4-inch piece.
