Jim Belcer jamming the splitter. 4-27-03
Description
Aim for the tree growing out of the cliff at the base of a left-leaning splitter. Traverse in from the left in a right-angling, intermittent, crack system. I vaguely remember the traversing start to be slightly dirty and a wee bit spicy, but the jamming in the upper crack is well worth the effort.
Location
Pretty much dead center on the North Face of the crag is a tree growing out of the base of a left-leaning crack. Start the pitch down and left where a weakness heads right toward the tree. Walk / scramble down the Southeast corner of the crag.

Great upper pitch, but the bottom crack and traverse to get to the thing was a 'black hole' pitch which sucked a star off of the over all experience. Start : easy 5.10, PG-13 or R. I cleaned it on lead and managed to get an RP in the vert section below the traverse. The book makes it sound like this is no big deal, but it's the mental crux of the route. The upper section was well protected and not scarey!
