Description 

This sport crack/face has it's crux at the start. The thin crack opens periodically for finger jambs. At the sixth bolt with the gray hanger, you may opt to go left to a lie-backing flake where large cams are needed, or go straight up to bolt and difficult face climbing. Both options lead to the same anchor.


Location 

This is the sixth route in the "Upper Jungle" to the left of "Primate Primer."


Protection 

Quick draws and a couple of medium to large cams to shunts.

Difficult boulder problem start (harder than 11a, but not crazy) followed by 5.9 and 5.10 moves, I think. Fun climb.
