Crux moves on Taurus.


Description 

Taurus is an outstanding thin crack to lieback. The crux comes right off the ground, moving on good locks with smear feet. You can get a good nut, then a good small alien. Pull the .11b crux to a rest. Then, climb the finger crack up, do some .10 lieback underclinging left. Up a solid mantel, and walk up the ramp to the chains


Location 

This is just uphill from Farley, and just downhill from The Fracture.


Protection 

Gear to 1". A blue green hybrid alien is useful for the crux, but other gear works too.
