Description 

Both Reckoning and Pure Joy share the same start. Begin in the easier crack, then climb the very nice finger crack on the right side of the broken column (left is Pure Joy, .10c). Rock quality is very good, as is gear.

Location 

Approach the west side of the Bend. This route and numerous other very nice cracks are located in the same general area. You could spend an entire day climbing just these routes.

Protection 

Pro to 1.5 or 2", emphasis on smaller gear. Bolts/chain anchor at the top. Rappel with 60m rope (50 would likely make it).
