Description

Start in the pea pod and finger jam, thin and flared, over the roof. Proceed up into a corner and on to the top. Very smooth stone and slippery jams.

Location

Just right of Susan Forever Cave, on the outside, is a thin finger crack with a pea pod down low. Follow this wicked finger job to the top.
