Description
Fun, technical 5.9 fingercrack. Can be toproped by scrambing up a gully with a tree to the left. Beware the old toprope anchors have been chopped. Set a gear anchor in the crack for TR and then climb up another 15-20 ft to when finished to rappel from a tree.
[Hide Comment] Very short, bomber finger locks, takes great pro and you can sew it up every few feet if so desired with tcus. With those attributes, makes a good first lead for someone breaking into .9 fingers. Also makes a good solo.
Descend by downclimbing the chimney with tree just to the left of the route.

[Hide Comment] No bolts- belay off tree and then rap. If route was longer it would get more stars. Due to the blocks at the base, it is necessary to place gear often if climbing at your limit.

[Hide Comment] This is an awesome 5.9 finger crack. I would recommend this as the warm up for the 5.9 variation on Nutcracker. It's easily accessible and very similar but shorter.
Nuts and x4's sewed this up. Maybe a .5 or .75..

[Hide Comment] I dunno, always thought this one was 10a? Meh, what does an OF like me know?
Anyways, this is one to sew up if you are not solid to avoid a deck (has happened). Don't gun for the top, stop and place gear (that way you get your money's worth too).

[Hide Comment] Dear two nice men that offered to belay me on their toprope (on oct 19, 2019),
My swing fall was inevitable and unavoidable from the top rope at that far right angle, so no hate. Turns out my foot is broken, and I just had surgery to get a gnarly screw in my metatarsal. It was worth it. No regrets, I was killing it until I fell so thanks for the belay :)
