Description 

Approach by scrambling in from the right, as you would for Grape Nuts or Euellogy. This is the first obvious crack that you encounter.

Climb up some blocks to reach a flared shallow corner. This steep and committing section is the crux and requires thin finger jams in the corner along with some surprisingly good holds on the face and arete. Above this a lower angle splitter crack leads to a ledge. Rappel from a tree to the left.

Protection 

Pro to 2", mostly smaller stuff
