Description 

Stick clip then climb up to the first bolt and climb the splitter crack that offers every size from tight fingers to a squeeze chimney. There are several cruxes including an off width section. Near the top there is a neat overhanging groove/slot one must negotiate.


Location 

Steep face to a splitter crack just past the boulders you must climb down through. The seventh route on the right side of the Gash as you walk in.


Protection 

Set of Cams .4" to 4" with an extra 2.5" cam, 1 set of stoppers, 4 bolts, slings; Chain Anchor
