Description Easily the best line on the wall and one of the better cracks in the immediate area, the striking line of the Right V Crack is a must for crack climbing aficionados.
The climbing is fairly continuous and starts off with good finger locks and slippery feet down low, past an easier middle section to finish up an interesting lieback around a bulge higher. Originally rated 5.10a it appears that years of traffic have polished the start so much that it's gotten a bit harder. Two or even three stars out of five.
Location Located in the center of the crag at the right margin of the taller portion of the crag.
Protection Gear to 2.5" with an emphasis on thinner stuff for the crux. Slings are handy if you wish to extend the anchor.

| A good lead as well, but as mentioned, the heavily-chalked finger crack tends to get damn greasy. If you want to practice your "greasy finger crack" technique, try this one mid-afternoon on a nice summer's day. ;) |

| When Dave Bengston and Mark Bowling soloed over 200 routes in a day at Josh they both soloed this climb by headlamp...just some useless local trivia. |

| Easily the best route at the crag. Do it in cold weather and it's not so bad/slick, which is nicer, but there are a few hard moves; maybe middle 5.10. |

| My favorite route in Indian Cove. Nice continuous climbing at the grade with a few easier moves along the way. Very enjoyable and an excellent intro to JTree crack climbing. Anne did well, and Gary made it look about 5.2. |
