Dave's crack. 5.7 direct face start, 5.6 the ramp to the right. Bring the second up with a top belay anchoring with larger(#2-4 C4) gear at the back of the crack.

[Hide Comment] Fun route! Gear to 2.5 inches doesn't quite do it for building a decent anchor at the top, which is closer to 4". Aug 6, 2012
