Description Suggest change

This is the right leaning crack, that is 40' left of Church Bowl Tree. Crux is pulling a blocky bulge 12' off the ground, and getting established in the crack on awkward tight hands with poor feet. Continue up the crack, which gets easier. You'll get to an old fixed pin, which is easily backed up, then you get a fun and thrilling airy traverse right, great feet on a dike, but no hands. balancy! At the end of the traverse, you'll hit a vertical crack with great fingerlocks in pin scars, then a final easy traverse right to a small slung tree. Rap off.

This route continues up a few more pitches at a guidebook .11a, but I haven't done them.

Location Suggest change

40' left of Church Bowl Tree, obvious 45 degree right slanting crack/book.

Protection Suggest change

Gear to 2". Offset gear very helpful in pin scars, I used the two larger hybrid aliens on this climb.
