Description 

This is an awesome finger crack up a left leaning open book that is very clean for the meat of the route. It starts via a fifth class scramble up to the crack proper. The bottom and top sections can be technically, a little cruxy. It remains fairly continuous at the grade, but the endurance crux is about 2/3rds of the way up. Can you say finger locks? This stellar route deserves to see a lot more traffic than it does. Go climb it!


Location 

This is the obvious stunning finger crack in an open book directly to the left of Primal Scream.


Protection 

Medium stoppers, a double set of Aliens, and a few runners, get you to a two bolt chained anchor.

This crack is the best one I have done at The Overlook, and is definitely one of the best at its grade in all of White Rock.
