Another great climb for big hands at this crag that reminds me of the Air Guitar ledge. It's a lot like Pony Keg, which is also wide and requires a bunch of Blue #3 camalots. It's better than Pony Keg though because the rock is much cleaner, great jams for long sections with notches for foot rests. It pinches down a couple of times, so bring some medium and finger sized cams. At the top it turns into a fractured gully, and gets a bit weird, but even there you can slot a finger sized cam to protect the last moves up before you step left to the anchors. We climbed here in August when everything all the way to Seattle was wet. Sun was out and it was shady and awesome. Perfect temps! Aug 11, 2019
