BETA PHOTO: Splitter right there in the middle.

Description 

Climb MRC direct and belay on the large ledge that is down and climber's right from the MRC rap rings (gear belay). Straight Edge is the unmistakable splitter. Step across the chasm, jam a flared crack (#6 stopper works nicely here) to a small bulge, place pro and gun for the top. The guide book rates this a 9+, however compared to other 9+s in Vedauwoo that I have done, this is a step up. Definitely a 3-star pitch.

Location 

Descent: From the top walk climber's right for 100 or so feet to a rap anchor. Do 2 raps to a shelf, walk off easily to the south east from here.

Protection 

1 ea ( #1 camalot, #2 camalot), 2 ea (#3 camalot, #4 WC Friend). Have an extra 4-in piece for the belay.
