Description

Continuous hand crack on left side of north face; you can't miss it. Sustained crack with a crux at the end. There is gear at the pumpy crux, but you have to work for it. You might want to save a wide-hands size cam for the last bit after the crux. This might be one of the best hand crack pitches in the Stronghold.

Location

Left side of north face. Scramble (might want a rope) 30 feet to belay ledge. 30' rappel (after a 150' double rope rappel from the top of the formation) from 2 bolt anchor below ledge gets you to the ground.
