Description Follow thinning crack in corner to a bulgy crux up high, then up and right to chains. The direct finish (up then right instead of right then up) is solid 10+ish.
Location Downstream on West Wall in Shady Grove. Thin crack in corner just right of The Winsloner & Darkstar.
Protection Lots of thin cams & nuts up to a #2 Camalot.

| this is the 10 to try if you dont lead 10 on gear.... it is at least a number grade easier than stick it, which is legit 10, IMHO. you can get a blue camalot in dark star before committing to the slim shady crack, and you can get a 00mastercam up high and right during the easy but run out traverse to the anchors, though it is probably moral support only. nice climb! |
