Description 

Yet another high quality crack at the ONP without a name.

Follow the finger crack on a slightly overhanging clean face for the first 20', placing great pro as you go. When you reach the end of the crack, make wild moves to the arete to your left (crux), with a really funky mantle.

To finish, most will continue up 5.8/5.9 finger and hand cracks with good horizontal ledges to the left (shared with Climb 17), or it may be possible to step right of the arete and follow another seam (as shown in guidebook and in beta photo - I'm not sure how tough or protectable this variation is- doesn't appear harder than 5.10 and it looks like it will take gear).

Location 

This climb is near the right side of the ONP. Find the obvious zigzaging finger crack, on a clean face just to the right of an obvious arete.
It is climb #19 in the beta photo

Protection 

Cams up to a #2 camalot, with doubles at finger crack sizes (#0.3 camalot and #0.4 camalot) highly recommended. Don't need TCUs or other cams smaller than 'fingers' for this one. Nuts are helpful.
