Description
Showcase is a short, overhanging, thin hands crack that gets wider as it goes up. Starting the route is a tricky stem move. Once established in the stem, you can place a nice 0.5 (or so) cam and start cranking. The rock is sharp, and I'd say that the crux was at about halfway, going through a short pod. When it widens up at the top, you can either place wide gear, or put smaller stuff in the back of the crack. Walk off back, then go left. The climb wouldn't suit a TR very well, since the crack can easily swallow a rope.
Showcase is located on the Little Butt near Asshole Rocks. It is adjacent to the routes on the Da Butts main crag. If you get to the summit of Da Butts, you will see this obvious feature below you and uphill from the start of the route Roll Dem Bones (see the description of Roll Dem Bones and Cardiac Crack for my attempt at providing approach beta). It is on a huge boulder split in half by a dihedral. Scramble, bushwack your way to the base, and climb the dihedral. There's also an A4 seam to the right of this crack that looks like it would have some scary hook moves. Have fun!
