Props to Jeremy and Mike for this fine addition. An awesome pinch/sidepull-to-crimp sequence leads to an interesting slab-tech move and airy rest before a steep, sustained finish on that oh-so-good gray stone. Longer than the nearby lines.

Great addition to Ruckman! The Crux may be a bit harder if under 5' 8".

There is an awesome knee bar on this one after the tenth bolt. You put your left foot on a sloping smear and your left knee under the roof. At this point, the knee is in, but it's not great. If you want to make it better, you can slide your right knee under you left heel and push. So essentially it's a double kneebar with the left knee pushing against the rock and the right knee on/supporting your left heel.
