Description
This is a fairly straightforward offwidth. Like teenage dating, awkwardly grope around to get to the top of this climb. To get the true essence of the climb, avoid using the obvious (and tempting) face holds of
Reptillian Wall. It is a good for TR problem. Not a good beginner lead if you are truly using the offwidth, and only the offwidth!
Location
Protection
This climb can be protected on the left, using the same hand crack that protects
Reptillian Wall. Small pro best for down low, with larger being used further up. Walk off to the left once you top out, or build a gear anchor.
[Hide Photo] This is where the crack starts to slim down enough to start getting some heel-toe action.

If your partner wants to lead it too, DO NOT PULL THE ROPE. This should have been obvious to me, but I'm not a smart man. Mar 28, 2015
