Description
A beautiful line located on a large boulder 100 yards west of the Iceberg Boulder. Slightly offset so you can't see it until you're on top of it or just past it. Right off the ground a couple of moves of very tight hands lead to 30 feet or so of awesome gently overhanging hands. This would be a three star route if it were only longer. As it is, it is excellent and one of the best cracks in Indian Cove for sure. On excellent rock and with excellent protection and sinker jams and a low crux, this is an excellent route for someone wanting to push their crack leading level.
