A fun trad route for all. Climb the crack situated between Blue Mascara & Pop You Up. Neat stemming and jamming up an overhanging corner. Fingers to off width plus plenty of wild face holds. Great protection in good rock.

Protection

Set of cams from .5" to 6" with doubles for 2" to 5"; a bunch of over the shoulder slings. Use the anchors for "Blue Mascara" to descend.
