Description

A fun but short pitch through a bulging section of rock at the crux. Nice movement (some may call them awkward moves) all the way up with holds on boths sides of the obvious crack, some hidden inside and but no jams required in this off-width size fissure, but you can if you want! A few loose rocks near the top as you enter the alcove are loose so climber and belayer beware. The anchor is the same as for the next route to the right, Root Canal, and this pitch can be top-roped after leading Guabá Man.

Location

On the left wall near the back of the cave. It climbs the prominent one-foot-wide crack splitting the wall.

Protection

7 bolts to bolted chain anchors

The center crack on this section of wall and a nice warm-up for the classic 5.10's on each side.  This area can stay completely dry on many rainy days,
