Gokul, on the K crack

Follow cracks through two ledges and pass a tiny roof. Follow a flaring crack for ~20' and traverse right into a book. Pass a rap station and traverse left on a hand crack. Follow book to K-Crack.

Everything I took up Pingora! Our first time to the winds and I was glad to have it all!

Notice the obvious K-Cracks.
