Description 

This is route # 11 in the online LAM guide.

Easy blocky climbing at the base leads to an excellent and fun, but all-too-short, hand crack that leads up to an embedded block, with easier jamming to the top.

Location 

This crack marks the center of the "Four Faces," as so named in the online guide.

Protection 

Standard cams and nuts. It may be desirable to place a directional near the very bottom that would help the belayer keep the rope from constantly flipping under the edge of the big block at the base.

Easy enough to set up a TR, which then also can allow access to TR the face to the left.
