This crack starts out as big hands and fists and slowly widens. Often referred to as a sandbag, this thing isn't so bad if you get arm bars dialed. According to local lore, it was named because Jay Anderson soloed it for the first ascent.
Location
This is the leftmost route on the lower tier.
Protection
A big hand or fist piece right off the ground, then a 5 and a 6 Wild Country for the rest. Gear anchor up top, walk off.
If you don't have the technique dialed on this thing, it will (as jammer put it) eat your lunch. Big Pink's little brother. Turns out the entire family's mean.
