[Hide Comment] Well worth the (short) walk. The "wide" flake is not too hard, and it protects with # 3 camalots and a #4 up high if you're lucky. From the top of the flake, its thin hands (occasional pod for #2-3 camalots) to the corner/slab, which then takes .4-.75 camalot sizes. I liked this route because of the variety: cups/fists, tight hands/ring locks with pods, and fingery layback to finish. Fantastico! At any rate, it's a real stretch to call this a "handcrack" as the description does. Apr 7, 2014

[Hide Comment] I put chains on the anchor (as well as biners that hopefully haven't been stolen yet) so you can ignore the part of the description about rappel slings that need replacing. Aug 17, 2021
