The beautiful, thin, left angling, Mexican Crack-like fissure disecting the middle of the Sail. I've never led this...but I aspire to! The thin crack traverse is 10+, then some 5.8 R climbing above on some suspect flakes. If you're not a hardman, or at least, not a brave one, you can toprope this. Take some Loooong slings for blocks/horns at the top. Can barely rap off this with a 60M rope once you''ve slung the horns. Some anchor bolts on the face just below the top would sure be a nice addition. I can't believe Nathan hasn't already added these routes.....cmon, ya slacker!
Really great route. If this was an easier approach there would be people lining up to climb it. Although most of the gear is on the small side, a #3 or #4 camalot is helpful for the wide crack near the bottom before moving into the main crack.
