Description
This is a meandering crack system that runs about 25 feet to the right of the [Gargoyle] and the obvious line there. this is a rather dicey start- the first 1/3 is almost all friction smears on the feet. Good hands most of the way. the crack will peter out to the right and end about a body length below the rounded summit... Place good pro here, it sucks to take a drop here. carefull to place pro where a pendulum will not put you into the wall to the left... You'll be riding the short bus after that one. Wear a helmet and be safe!
