Description
Start up the obvious thin/hand crack just left of Ball and Chain or climb a low-angled ramp to reach a 4 inch crack about ten feet to the left and then continue up the heavily featured face above to anchors.
Aside from the start this is really a face climb with gear for protection, as well as the odd slung knob, which might not make it the best for those breaking into the grade; for everyone else it's just a blast on excellent quality rock.
