Description 

There is a thin hands splitter in a shallow left facing corner about ten feet left of Somewhere East of Fresno. Climb this crack to the roof then move left onto the ledge. Continue up the right facing dihedral past the old bolts to a set of Metolius rap hangers (S.E.o.F. anchors). Hang a belay at this stance. The second pitch climbs the wider crack directly above then moves over a roof and follows a series of seams to the summit. There are bolted rap anchors at the top of this pitch located on a spike just below the summit. This is the finest 5.9 at Raspberry Rocks.

Protection 

Two sets of Stoppers, One set of RPs, Cams to 4", 12 Quick Draws, A couple of over the shoulder slings
