Description
Ruckmans only give this one star, but I gave it two if only because it is a great off-width test piece. I climbed this first back in the early 80's, and again last spring in March, when it was beautiful, sunny and surprisingly warm. The first pitch is a cruise up to the two-bolt belay. From here the crack lulls you in with a couple of good jams, but as it angles left and steepens, it widens to just beyond good hand-stacks and requires strenous arm-bars and knee stuffs. If you have plenty of big stuff you can zip it up with pro, but it remains sustained to the top few feet where it again closes to a reasonable width. Enjoy and become the off-width master!
Protection
Bring a full rack minus the micros, heavy on the big stuff (up to 6") for the second pitch.
This would bee the large, left-angled crack on the east side of the Egg fomration. The first few moves to the bottom crack on the first pitch are unprotected, but easy.

Sweet route. It has a little of everything. Probably my favorite on the Egg.
