Description
This is the diagonaling thin crack to the right of Venous Vernish and left of the Waltzing Wern. Thin jams lead to a pocket and small shrub at half height. Either traverse right into the WW (clean, recommended) or traverse a little right and go up the thin crack with flexible flange-like flakes straight up (R- loose, not recommended).
