Description

This is a fairly nice steep face and awkward hand crack. From the start of Cranny, move right past a bolt on the steep face to reach a left-slanting hand crack. This crack is more difficult than it looks, and it's awkward trying to place protection.

Protection

one bolt plus a standard rack
