Description
The right curving off width. Requires a burly chicken wing and knee jam to get up to a ledge. Then some hand and fist jams to get into the long and sustained off width section. Use a combination of chicken wings and lay backing to ascend. Eases up at the end with a hand jam traverse. Wear a long sleeve shirt to climb this.
