Description

Obvious right leaning, curving crack. Easier to lieback/foot traverse the crack at the top but much harder to place gear. Very fun route, fingerlocks, ring locks, and hand jams are all available on this climb.

Two options to start. Directly on the crack (to the left) which is harder and has some finnicky placements. To the right up the big flake then traverse into the crack, much easier but has no protection until you get established in the crack. Careful not to go too high up on the flake at this point or else you'll have to do an awkward down climb to get into the crack, move over once you have good hands and a good left foot.
