Deathly Hollow

Description

An interesting, perhaps slightly spooky, varied climb. Big hands crack at the start leads to a weird and hollow flake feature, the Deathly Hollow (overly dramatic!) where one can hand jam next to but also reach around the back of. It jams well but don't place protection next to it (I'd like to add a bolt here to help keep the flake from busting and better protect the section.)

Move up to a block and some finger crack climbing to a good stance. A short section of thin hands leads to the anchor.

Location

On the right side of the area, right of a wide chimney/gully. The hollow flake feature is pretty obvious.

Protection

Single rack from .3 to #3 camalots. Doubles from .5 to #1.
