Stevo crushing.


Description 

Slightly overhanging flared tight hands and fingers. Crux comes when the crack pinches to nothing and you must grab a face hold on the right. A few great rests allow you regain composure, before tackling the final deep flare.


Location 

Center of H&I crag. The most striking line on the cliff.


Protection 

Stoppers to #3 Camalot. Much of the crack protects well with small cams in the back of the flare (yellow Alien to 0.75 Camalot). Chains on the large ledge up top. Be careful pulling the rope, as the flare looks like a rope eater.
