Jamming up the crack.
Add Photo Printer View
Description This is the climb that climbs the flake on the right side. It pops over the flake and then starts a nice rightward shuffle. The shuffle is a blast, as the crack is nice on the fingers.
Protection Bring large hexes and medium nuts for the anchors. Also, bring medium to large gear for the climb with some runners.

| Stout for 5.8, awkward, and the crack flares inward so gear is a bit tricky to place, though solid if you work at it. Not nearly as good as the other 5.8 on the buttress. |

| The hardest move is getting off the ground, although you can protect the initial moves by placing a piece before you start climbing. Good hand jamming technique is a must, and there is a second crux right below the roof. The route protects well with SLCDs and hexes. The anchor station is a nice, picnic table ledge. |

| This is a fun route, I thought the gear was fine, it is just a little short. |

| Nuts protect this better than cams; really irregular crack system. Fun route, just a little short. Also: a 2 bolt anchor has been added to a slab near the end of the route. I found it easier just to continue traversing off right to the tree/gully and belay from there. I don't really see the point of the newly added bolt anchors: you can't even rap from them since there are no quicklinks there. |

| Second best route on the wall after the 5.9 just to this routes left. |

| This climb would be a good intro to trad climbing in BCC imo. Take your time and practice sewing it up! Clean it, think about what you really need up there and do it again. |
