Description
The 5.8 crack is located on the north-facing cliff about 200 yards to the west of the Redbird statue. This route was originally described as a "classic 5.8". It is the leftmost route on a steep section of fair-quality rock.
Pull up through the obvious crack system to the roof. Move right and grunt through some jugs to the top.
Protection
Requires finger-sized protection for trad.
