Description
On the south face of Morbid Mound is a crack system perhaps 5-8 meters right of the left edge of the formation. This climbs up easy moves (I did not bother protecting) a few meters to a stance on a ledge, then up a finger crack system, perhaps anohther 6 meters to the top, where a good "butt belay" stance can be had to bring up the second. The pro I used was a few cams ~ 1" size, and placed just above the good stance at mid-route. Well protected, moderate.
