Description 

Twin hand cracks to groovy crux finish. Free soloed and rope climbed with Bill Hardigen in 1982. Bill with his long arms skipped the crux by reaching past it. Howard Peterson, Brad White, Babara Knight climbed it 1988 and called it Gemini.
I'll let the name remain the same but I'm not a Gemini. I'm an Aquarius, Hah!
