Description

A high-quality finger crack (crux) leads to easier moves above. It gets shade for most of the day.

Drawn in red in the cliff photos.

Location

This route climbs the obvious vertical finger crack and right-leaning hand crack on the right-center of the formation.

Protection

Carry gear to a blue Camalot with doubles of purple and red Camalots. A gear anchor can be built on the ledge below the summit with red, gold and blue Camalots.
