An excellent thin crack. Rap from a tree at the top of the crack.

This is an obvious line on the left side of the clean slab at the far end of the Nears. Just right of Punch and Judy.

This description is not correct. The route is not a crack and is not really obvious. I think John is confusing the neighboring route (Akidlleativytoowouldntyou) with this one. Akid is the nice finger crack.

This route begins on a blackish face below a small tree and flat block that is being held up by the tree.

Climb the face up left of the tree and block, then up the face to the small roof. Climb through the roof at a small weakness in the middle and continue up to the belay/rap tree.

The gear for this route is PG13/R, depending on how creative you are. Excellent face climbing and easily set up as a TR after leading Punch and Judy or Akid.

what Tim says is correct. Bring lots of small cams you and can double up and make it less scary. Good moves on the climb.
