Description 

This route is located on the right side of the canyon about 150ft from the mouth. It climbs an obvious splitter finger crack in a smooth slab.

This is one of the best 5.7 finger cracks around and a must do for the grade. Follow the splitter crack for about 50ft until you do a rising traverse up and to the right. Rap from the bolt anchor above Air Arete 5.10.


Protection 

Gear to #2 Camalot, with extra finger sized cams.

The climb can be continued up and left through a chimney feature. Then find a tree with slings to rap off.

Nice route but really pretty short. A couple of 0.5 Camalots sew up the crux.
