Description 

10 feet left of Chewbacca, this is a splitter 6" crack. At first glance this would appear to be an offwidth nightmare. Luckily features can be found both inside and out of the crack both for holds and for gear and offwidth technique isn't needed most of the time. The roof up high looks hard but turns out to be reasonable.

Protection 

Single set of cams and stoppers - big pieces, like #4, #4.5, #5 Camalots would be required to protect the crack directly, but in many spots smaller cracks inside can be found.
