Please take note of the request for climbers to avoid disturbing raptors if at all possible.
Self-policing our behavior is MUCH better than an outright ban!

Description
This is the wide crack system to the right of Abra. An interesting route but a very strenuous day and not for those afraid of chimney and offwidth climbing.
Pitch 1: climb the chimney to a belay at the bolts (5.8 R). This is hard to protect without big stuff (and perhaps not protectable even with it) but fairly secure.
Pitch 2: grunt up the crack above (5.10a). This is a little bit of everything - stemming, OW, fist.
Pitch 3-5: climb up to a bolt and tension traverse left (scary!) to a ledge. join Abra in the cracks below the Friendly Flake.
