Description A stunning, often overlooked, steep and quite painful hand crack.
Climb the very sustained, and VERY painful tight-hands crack on the left side of the boulder to the summit. Fighting the pain from the toothlike pebbles in the crack is very much part of the route's crux.
Location Sonja is the first crack on the left, on the road-facing side of the giant Mental Block, which is off the trail directly opposite Nosedive. Scramble down to the base of the route from the right side of the boulder.
Protection A small rack from #.75 to #2. Bring two #3 Camalots to set up a TR anchor.

| This little route is super cool. It's a true rarity in the Gunks - one of the only pure hand cracks that I can think of. It's only tight hands in a few spots. I have big hands and I managed to find nice jams. I even got a finger lock at one point. Totally classic! |
