Description 

Fairly obvious thin crack/seam. Takes small nuts and the occasional cam. Lead is mixed, and encourages you to move to the left half way up the seam to a series of three final bolts. An unbolted lead would command an R or X rating due to marginal gear and unprotectable top half of climb.

Location 

Scramble up several boulders for 20-30 yards and belay from beneath large boulder that rests against climbing wall to the right. Start on face holds beneath thin seam/crack.

Protection 

Set of small nuts, cams to 0.75 Camalot, draws for up to 5 bolts.
