James Otey on the perfect hands start of Rites...

Description 

Can you say perfect jams? This route has them for sure. The route is the right crack on the stunning pillar. It is immediately right of Cruising Lane. The first half is great hand jams behind a right facing flake. The upper middle section is wider, but casual to a rest. The final section is weird, poorly protected and most often sandy. Nice warm up for the climbing partner who kept you up snoring the night before.

Location 

Funk Rock City, right of Cruising Lane

Protection 

Hand sized gear mostly, with a fist sized piece or two and some TCUs and tri-cams up high.
