Description
The first 25' of the climb are sustained and strenuous. A hollow flake inside the crack near the bottom can be used as a hand hold. After the crux, the crack widens to 5+" but the difficulty tapers to 10- because features on the faces appear. The rock quality varies from fair to very good (2 out of 5 stars).
