Description
Unique climb for NC;good hand jams up an obvious crack. Climb a short corner to a ledge, then take the splitter crack to the top of the partially detached pillar
Location
Take the Cereal Wall approach but walk left once you hit the wall. Take a faint trail around some boulders and up hill about 50 feet. You will see a series of cracks, some very wide. This route is the right-most crack.

Rappel slings at the top- bring a cordelet to set a TR

[Hide Photo] not long but certainly fun. crux seems to be just getting established in crack.
[Hide Photo] It is the crack to the right of the larger chimney starting right on top of the boulders, belay from the top of the boulders.

On the other hand if you have a newb crew with you, lock this thing down with a TR rig and nobody will care. Mar 11, 2016

Tat was in decent condition as of 12/5/20. Probably could use an update soon. I didn't have any with me otherwise I'd have left something. Dec 10, 2020
