The climber in green is on Bluebells, the climber ...


Description 

A classic for the area. A fun crack climb, although face holds exist as well. Follow the finger crack up into a dihedral and continue to the top.

  • RCM&W #44, p.214.


Location 

This route is in the next corner down from Phantom Crack, and about 25 yards to the left from the stone lookout.


Protection 

Nuts, cams, hexes for lead. Some large gear might be helpful for the top rope setup.

GREAT finger crack dihedral. A stout and fun lead with lots of great nut placements.
