Description

Start up a bit of a rotten hand crack that gets slightly overhung. Pull into some fists in a clean corner. Keep chugging as it gets wider and wider. Towards the top, squeeze to the ledge and the anchors.

Location

This is around the bend a bit from Longer Corner. It is probably a couple 100 yards climber's right. It is past the curving overhang called the Cobra.

Protection

Singles from #3 - #6. Doubles #2, #4 (just push the big cams).
