Description 

This is a pretty good climb. Climb the lower crack to a ledge. You can fill this up with large gear if you want (3-6 inch cams or Bigbros). At the ledge, choose between more wide crack on the left or a hand crack on the right. If you are out of large gear (like I was), the right side is the better option.

The left finish is also good. I just need a couple more big pieces to lead that side.

Location 

The Mosh is a little further southeast from Primal Jam. Look for an offwidth crack at the start with twin cracks above from a ledge (see photo). There are multiple options for the descent. There is a class 4 descent to the south near the start of the Cave Wall and at least three class 4 descents to the north before you get to the Grocery Store Wall.

Protection 

Standard rack, heavy on the big stuff, especially if you climb the upper left crack.
