Poor quality photo of josh halfway up the handcrac...


Description 

The other end of the crack, this end is much harder. Climb up the crack either laying it back, or just straight up jam it. Fun crack climbing up to a HUGE jug near the lip. Stellar problem.

There is also a sit down start underneath the roof that makes the problem about a grade harder. Getting around the lip is the crux of that variation.

Used to be VERY scary, as there is a pointy stump at the bottom. However, the landing was filled in with rocks to make it very easy to protect.

Still a bit tall, and some potential for.... strange falls, especially if you're laying it back.


Location 

Obvious crack on the west face of the boulder. Again, if you can't see it, you're at the wrong rock.


Protection 

Crashpad or two, definitely a spotter.
