Description 

A right leaning crack in the middle of a face with small holds and pockets. Small face holds help to keep in balance, with the crack providing pro and security. A wide-pod-area about half-way up presents some difficulty. Just after the pod is the crux with less obvious footholds- gun it through to the jug. The final 8 feet is still stout, after the basalt changes to a more smoother variety (with holds farther apart)- here, the climb is steeper but the crack opens up for hand jams in a few places, but still feels tough especially if you worked hard to get here. The anchor is just left at the finish.

This climb is more continuously pumpy and has almost no good rest stances compared to most White Rock cracks at this grade.


Location 

Obvious right-arching crack on the face right of the sport climbs Monsterpiece Theatre and Little Shop of Horrors.


Protection 

Standard rack of nuts and cams to 3", nothing ridiculuously small. The Little Shop of Horrors 2 bolt anchor is easily reached from this route.
