Just getting ready to cross the face at the end.


Description 

The furthest right crack on the south-east face. This crack is steep but the jams are all there. Near the top there is a hole, at that point, angle left across the face to the chains. This is just after the crux.


Protection 

2 draws for the chains set a decent anchor, although they create a pendulum. They can be attained by traversing along a small sloping ledge. To lead it bring a standard rack.

Short but excellent jams. A big swing for the second if the leader traverses to the chains. A gear anchor is possible, and the walk off is quite simple.
