Unknown Fingers

Description

This is a good fingers corner 5' left of Four Wheel Low. Start on the same ledge as Four Wheel Low and climb up a casual crack to a small ledge. A few feet and a good hand jam lead to the steep fingers corner (#2 Metolius). Layback up and around the small roof above and gun it for a foot hold and decent jam. From here, easier, but still pumpy climbing leads to the anchors.

This is a pretty good route right now, but with some traffic, it should clean up quite nicely and become a great pitch (the feet are quite dirty).

Location

This is maybe 100' left of S Crack, and right next to Four Wheel Low on the left side of the Cabin Wall.

Protection

A few cams of every size from #0.3 Camalots through #2 Camalots. At the crux, it seemed like the yellow Metolius cams would fit quite nicely.
