Description

Climb the crack up to the odd-looking alcove and prow (easier than it looks). Step around right (crux 1), then up the face to a ledge. Clip the last bolt, and do one 5.9-5.10a move (crux move) to reach the anchors. This is a fun route with good rock (except for one small section) and 2 mini-cruxes. Possibly a bit soft for .10a.
