Description 

Very continous for the grade. The whole bottom half feels like the crux with even a couple moves up top that are hard. If the top half was like the bottom half, it would definitely be four stars. Small crimps, small feet, and balancy is the name of the game. With all the crimps though, definitely stay away from it if a recent storm has come through, as it's likely some of the small holds will blow on you.


Location 

To the south of a giant pine tree towards the north end of the whale, directly below a pothole...you'll notice a lot of small crimps headin' up. It's kind of nestled behind a couple of smaller trees.


Protection 

10 bolts, 2 bolt anchor.
