| This crack finishes with tea cup hands and a fist jam or two. Not to be missed. |

| must do route. #4 and 5 bd nuts are essential for first few moves, and are bomber placements if you look. after almost half a day of cleaning this route is returned to true form on the upper part of the crack, and allows for much better pro without having to move onto the face. |

| Does it go out the roof on those flakes and then traverse right onto the face? |

| Yes, you use the flake and then step right. Otherwise, you could snag the ~13a FA on the direct start by going straight up. ;-) There are a couple of other newer, undocumented routes in that secteur; just let me know if you want any more info. |

| You know I would. I have been climbing a Currahee lately to detox from all the long drives out to sandstone. |
