Description
guidebook: "Climb hand crack in a rich facing corner moving left onto a ledge. Next follow a thin crack past a bulge. After the bulge, crack widens and eases as your ascend."
A VERY fun beginner trad route. I found the beginning better if done as a set of stemming moves. And then moving into the crack.
There is a little bit of loose rock on the route so use caution.
Protection
I found placements for doubles in bd 1s, 2s and down through the sizes. So a full rack with doubles (only carrying 2's or smaller should do you fine). I brought nuts didn't end up finding placements for them.
Also due to the cliff at the base of the climb, never a bad idea to throw some pro and protect your belayer.
