Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Offwidth crack, with notable hand s-crack that gets you off the ground. Found it to be difficult for the grade, although I am not a proficient Offwidth climber. Crux occurs near the top as crack continue to widen.

Location 

One of the last climbs on top of the Middle Earth region. Look for the wide crack the continues to widen at the top.

Protection 

3 and larger. Be prepared to walk a 6 if you only have one. Bolt Anchors at top
