Description

Towards the right end of the formation is a vertical thin crack that heads up about 20 ft to a slabby ledge. Above this, take a left-slanting finger crack heading up towards some bulges. There are a variety of ways to finish, I ended up pulling a 5.8 bulge into a flared chimney. The Lewis guide shows there being bolted anchors near the top of the route, but we couldn't find any and rapped Locals Only instead.
