Description 

A nice, easy handcrack in a left-facing dihedral with great jams and pro. Most people skip the second pitch and rap from bolts at top of first pitch ~50' up.


Protection 

This crack eats up hand-sized pieces and has a bolted anchor at the top of the first pitch.


Location 

Locate the left-facing dihedral just right of the Central Scrutinizer slab and about 20' left of the large, ominous looking offwidth flake.

Tight hand crack, takes #.75 and #1 camalots well.

The crack widens to take a C4 #3 right before the crack leans right and becomes much more positive. IIRC the rest of the crack is pretty solid C4 #1 below that, so make sure to bring enough gear in that size range.
