If you can't find the route, look for the "Joseph Meeks" chiseled out about 15' off the deck and that's your route.

[Hide Comment] Tricky little route! I liked it though. The 'crack' is useless for pulling moves from (at least for me). Good for protection at least. Mar 26, 2013

[Hide Comment] Kinda weird, but fun short route. Place some small nuts and a black Totem at the beginning, then run it out to the upper crack ... Mar 24, 2020

[Hide Comment] I have noticed that rubbage from this route is wearing on the chiseling. How old is the chiseled name? Is it a protected artifact? Apr 15, 2021
