BETA PHOTO: This shows the route Diagonal (5.8+) and also incl...


Description 

This route climbs the obvious, left-leaning, hand crack that begins roughly 20 ft. to the left of Cro-Magnon. The crux moves are relatively close to the ground, so good protection is a must if 5.8+ is your limit.


Location 

This route starts 20 ft. left of Cro-Magnon on the left side of the Fisherman's Wall. It is also possible to add a short second pitch by continuing up either Wild Women in Love (5.10) or Green Route (5.5).


Protection 

Standard rack. Emphasis on medium-size cams. Most people use the small tree at the top of the climb for an anchor, but discretion is advised.

A fun climb that starts steep and moves left with a few funky (and sandy) moves with good gear. A gear anchor will enable you to top-rope it (with directionals). I rapped on the Cro-Mag piton anchor.
