Description 

A short but sweet wide testpiece for beginning off-width aficionados. The hardest part is getting started and deciding which side to shove into the crack. Try not to get too deep into the crack and remember that small movements are the key to making progress.

Location 

Near the entrance to the Three Sisters Alcove. This is the wide crack formed by two separate large vertically oriented boulders and faces southeast.

Protection 

Bring the big stuff... #4 Bigbro for the start. #3 Bigbro and #6 Camalots up higher... A toprope can be setup from the route 'Petite Tarsalation' that ascends the same gap between the boulders forming Tarsalation to the NW. Walkoff is possible to the NE.
