Details
Description
This is a short hand crack with high feet and good hand jams to begin. Throw a jam over the constriction, and you're home free after a few fist jams up top. There is a painful knee jam optional.
Location
It is on the south side of the Nautilus, under the parabolic slab rappel and just to the left of
Blood Sport. There are lots of gear anchor options for a TR.
Protection
The route takes BD #0.75 to a #4 up top. A BD #1 fits perfectly just below constriction.
