The Curving Crack is a great moderate climb that requires some tricky jamming towards the top of the route. Start out with some blocky moves and move up along the crack, curving towards the right. About half way up the route have the option of using only the crack (harder) or using a shallow dihedral to the right to stem up. The top of the climb holds the crux where you seem to hit a dead-end.
The moves are a bit awkward b/c you have to go deep for good jams, but good fun and a nice lead. A few lost cams – Wise use of runners is a way to keep your gear.
