Description 

Perhaps the best looking crack on the wall, from afar. Then you get closer and it gets wider and longer. If you like OffWidth, that's fine, otherwise it starts loosing stars. I happen to be down with it, so it is as good as it looks. Remarkably, the climbing is mostly solid and with the use of some face holds. Not only does it fall short of being a "5.9d" like the book suggests, it may be perhaps even soft at the grade of 5.9 overall.


Location 

This is the best-looking left-facing corner on the wall and can easily be spotted from the road on the way in.


Protection 

A standard rack to 4". Some fist sized cams go back into the crack a way and are quite good to have. Belay and rap as for Sabbatical-carefully watch the ends of your rope unless you have a 70M.
