This stem feels awful good when you get it and there are one or two more as you head up. (Photo by Ivan Rezucha)
At the crux. A shorter climber wouldn't be able to get into this stem.

Stemming it wide.
At the crux. A shorter climber wouldn't be able to get into this stem.
The climbing is relatively easy at the wide part of the crack so you'll probably be leap-frogging and sliding up the big cams, even if you have a lot. (Photo by Ivan Rezucha)
Just below the crux, the crack narrows so you can place something small enough for a blue Camalot or smaller gear. I got a blue in about 10 feet below this but nearly arm's length into the crack. (Photo by Ivan Rezucha)
Harder than it looks!
