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
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!
Well, no it is not stiff for the grade. Maybe soft, but fair at 5.9. It's a great climb, only a little too short. OK, a lot too short. Good crag if you like cracks.

Beautiful splitter, just too short. I thought it was soft for the grade, as long as you know how to jam and your hands aren't too big.
