Description 

I don't really know what to say about this route
It sucks, it dangerous, the gear sucks, and the entire time Buzz was on the route I thought he was going to deck out.

That being said, sometimes partners should listen to each other.

Your first piece good piece is about 15ft. up after that good luck.

PS: If someone anchors this can I have my nuts and sling back.


Location 

Down from Half pipe up from the practice wall. Its the same pull out as for Shark's fin wall.


Protection 

Trad: mostly nuts with a number one cam.

This is the same as "Trash Crack" I guess I forgot to tell Tim I posted it, anyways I was looking a little closer at the picture and I don't know that you would actually hit the ground, but it would be close.
