Description 

This is a beautiful zig-zagging splitter finger crack on a black varnished wall. With the crux about 2/3 the way up.

Location 

Park at the obvious parking area on the right, cross the road. Walk up the trail to the second gully, witch drops south from the obvious towering buttress to the north. Follow a sandy trail up the gully to a slop on the right of a cave like amphitheater. Continue north to a small buttress behind some ponderosa pines. The route goes up the obvious crack.

Protection 

Small cams and nuts. 3 bolt anchor/rap station at the top of the climb.
