Description 

On the East end of the Crescent Crack Buttress is a 1 bolt route. This climb is the corner to the right. It is short which detracts from it, but itherwise it isn't too bad. It starts as a hand crack and then a weird traverse under the roof, using chickenheads, then it works up a finger crack, until you can traverse right over the "groove"y face to the tree anchor. Watch the rope drag.


Protection 

Medium to large gear, with a long sling for the roof walkaround move. A #2 Camalot protects the traverse to the tree anchor well. The anchor is a good tree, so bring backup slings in case of age on the originals.
