Description 

Ah yes, for those of you who don't mind a little burly off width in your diet. Look for a roof crack a little ways left of Echoes. Climb dihedral to roof and out the crack to the lip. Here the crack widens to an unsightly width. The crux is pawing up this bad boy and reaching deep within (your soul?) the crack to a hidden inner crack which you can get some weird finger locks. After the crux, cruise up the separated pillar and try not to think about the thing suddenly ripping off the wall to the anchors below the roof. It will keep you regular.

Location 

North Annex, Left of Echoes

Protection 

An assortment of cams. I was there in Aug, 06 and the anchors are the same as Seth left them. Two bolt belay with some webbing that after 10 years, doesn't look so good. If you head up the thing, bring some quick links or fresh (black would be best) webbing.
