It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.
Description
This is the strikingly obvious crack system just around the corner to the right of "Resolution". It is thinner, steeper, and more difficult than it looks. While you can generally lace it up with thin gear, expect to develop a major pump. Three stars for great movement, continuity, involved sequences, and good holds. The VS rating comes from a pair of bowling ball sized blocks hanging in the crack at 2/3 height, and the 5' high detached flake precariously balanced on a 3" ledge at the top. You don't need to touch these features, but you'll need to be very careful to avoid them. 30 seconds with a crowbar and a fixed anchor on top would make turn it into a user-friendly classic.
