Description 

The route is on Repo Wall, only a short distance to the right from the route "Human Foot" on Blackstone Wall. Follow the perfect hand crack up the steep wall, then follow the crack as it trends on a leftward ramp system. The ramp seems to be the crux, with some awkward jamming moves.
This is a great trad route in an area dominated by nice sport routes. So bring the rack along, and when the fingers get tired after a day of crimping, start jamming!


Location 

Follow the trail to Blackstone wall, then head right along the base for a hundred feet or so. The route is the obvious handcrack (just about the only handcrack in the area).
Rappel the route with one rope (50m rope works).


Protection 

Set of cams up to #3 Camelot. The #3 works well on the left-leaning section. Bolted rap station at the top.
