Yes, that's right. It's called the 5.8 crack by the road, but it is in fact 5.7...I can't explain it.... However this is a really fun climb...I think it's the most fun moderate route at this crag.... Very few people bring trad gear to Rumney, so on a busy day I like to bring a small selection of gear, and I can get on all kinds of fun routes while the strict sporty folk stand in line for the classics....
What can I say? It's a crack...Follow it and have fun...Mostly hand sized crack with some face holds....

Just left of Romancing the Stone, there is a set of stairs...Go up the stairs and turn right, you are there....

You could lead this on a handful of larger cams and thats it. It's pretty wide for pro, so leave the small stuff at the bottom for the 30 or so gym rats to gawk at.
This route could be climbed on the face holds alone, but don't do it! It's way more fun to commit to the jams. The crack loves you, so love it back and commit, baby.
