Description

This route takes the fairly obvious, thin-hands crack through a bulge that's to the left of Watusi Afterworld.

Start by climbing an easy, vegetated trough below the crack (or the slab to the right), get to a stance at the crack, fire the crack, and mantel when it ends.

Location

To the left of Watusi Afterworld is a corner leading to a dirty crack. This route is to the left of that corner. It's very obvious from the base of the crag. Rappel from the anchor of Watusi Afterworld. A 60m rope is sufficient for the rappel.

Protection

Standard rack. A single set of cams and stoppers should work just fine. A larger piece (#4 or #5 Camalot) may ease your mind when finishing the mantel. Head up and right to the anchors atop Watusi Afterworld (or one could probably top out and descend maybe climber's left).
