Description
From below the obvious, right-leaning, parallel cracks, climb up past bushes and follow the cracks for three pitches. Rappel off.
Protection
multiple finger/hand sizes for the finger cracks
4" to protect the OW roof
5" useful if you go right at the bottom of the flake.
Approach
Follow the standard Hammer Dome approach. Where the aqueduct ends, drop down and left on a slightly vague trail that follows the base of the formation. After about 20', look for cairns that will lead you left/west along a narrow ledge (do not continue along the base unless trying to bypass the direct start). Where the ledge ends, there will be an obvious step-across, you should see the bolts for the direct start above.
