Description

Dihedral crack that starts out as fingers laybacking and widens to hands and a solid fist jam as you pull over the top. The top is the crux and is pretty awkward. Then follow the low angle up a few feet and belay from a bush back from the edge.

Location

This route is the short and bouldery, left-facing dihedral located at the northernmost end of the formation.

Protection

Small pieces up to a #3.5 camalot with a few hand-size pieces. The name of the route is what we used to protect the route, a red number 1 camalot that you can reach and place a ways up right from the starting boulder, a yellow number 2 camalot, and a blue number 3 camalot right before you top out. There are other optional placements.

[Hide Comment] Decent but short. If you do the top correctly it goes pretty easy. Took me a couple attempts to find the "right" way because I was unsure of whether I'd slip on the lichen. I rated it 5.9 because without the lichen it would be a simple slab move, and there are lots of good stances. (It also may have felt easy because I have huge hands) Jun 13, 2018
