Mike getting up New Yosemite for the first time


Description 

Like full-on hands? This is the route for you!
Tackle the hand jamming crack, avoiding the sucker jugs on the right and blasting through the tight-hands crux to easier ground up top.


Stiff at the grade for East Coast cracks, we just aren't used to splitters.


Location 

Start just right of wooden fence at obvious hand splitter running 2/3 way up the wall


Protection 

Takes super solid #2 BD cams.

Short crux section (two moves?). Its a cool climb in that it forces some 5.9 jamming. I have seen it shut down at least 2 5.12 gym rats and seen it cruised by people that could barely climb 5.10-

Will feel pretty damn soft if you have any jamming technique!
