Description 

This fun route climbs flared splitter hands to a ledge where you have the option of continuing up the direct route which widens from 4" to a squeeze with a corner change (the FA took the direct route) or stepping left a couple feet and climbing a thin hands/hands splitter that starts ~7 feet above the ledge. It's a big reach to the hands splitter but a fun variation.

Location 

Left of "Finer 39'r" maybe 100 yards. The line is obvious from the approach trail.

Protection 

BD #2-#6 for the direct line, more 2.5-3.0" for the variation. 2 bolt anchor.
