Description 

An outstanding finger/handcrack, one of the best of the grade in the Meadows. Lots of varied jams.


Location 

In the main Olmstead area. Check Falkenstein's guidebook for more details.


Protection 

Takes a range of gear from blue TCU to a #2 camalot. A #7 or 8 stopper is handy. 2-bolt anchor at the top.

The first tough moves are trying to fight the barn door moving through the lower buldge to a good hand jam. Plenty of opportunities for protection. The next crux is fighting the pump through the upper finger crack which is a mix of great finger locks and thin pin scars, with one last hard move to the bolted anchors. Great climbing, great pro, feels longer then it actually is.
