[Hide Comment] This cannot be led safely, as there is no gear on the upper half of the route (unless you have big bros).

The wide crack at the top is wider than the big WC Green. I was able to place WC Green at the base of the upper crack, but it would not have kept me from hitting the top ledge.

Better to TR this one. Jul 11, 2016
