Description Suggest change

The route climbs through opening face moves leading to a section of thin and broken cracks just below the namesake crux. In the dark rock on the upper half of the route launch into a technical and balance sequence between a couple of pretty positive but reachy 3 finger pockets ending at a horizontal. Another body length of easier terrain will put you at the anchor.

Location Suggest change

The route begins just left of Hot Crystals off a large block to the right of the enormous chockstone wedged against the wall. The crux section near the top of the wall is easily spotted as a clean face of darker rock. The route begins on the blocks directly below.

Descent: Head straight back into the gully and scramble down to climbers left to the approach trail leading back to the base of the wall.

Protection Suggest change

Small cams and stoppers. Sling boulders or place hand size pieces for the anchor.
