Description 

A perfect, mostly finger crack with a hand jam start and a flared fist jam finish. This is a gently left leaning crack located in Rowdy's Corral (a round corral-like area to the left of The Spins, but accessible only from the back of the Plumb Line Upper Tier crag through a narrow slot).


Location 

Plumb Line Crag upper tier central. Inside Rowdy's Corral that is located to the left of The Spins. Accessed from the back, and the best way to reach this is by going West from the top of Plumb Line, then North around the crag, then East along the backside. Walk up a fallen tree, turn right at the end of the tree and through a narrow corridor. There is a large block in the center of the corral. The climb starts below this block on the ground.


Protection 

Yellow-red Aliens, #0.5 Camalot, #4 stopper, #1 Camalot. I drilled an anchor.

CONDITION REPORT 

Excellent midrange finger crack, with some hands/fist stuff on it. Still somewhat dirty and prone to having footholds pop or crystals come out of the top flare -- will probably be a minor classic once it cleans up.

This crack is really good. I thought I had the area pretty well combed. I can't believe I missed it. It looks almost too short to be worth getting the rope out, but it is not to be missed.
