Description
Nice looking big hands crack in a left facing corner. Low angle through the #4 part keeps it moderate.
The anchors are far back on a spacious ledge, I can only assume because someone was envisioning a 2nd pitch (maybe it's been done - see below). Because of this, you'll probably want to rap, and it's not a great one for TR laps.
(Editor's note on second pitch below)
The second pitch is a short wide-fist crack to a stance somewhat in a bombay chimney. 40 ft. 5.10a/b. ** (2 stars using MP’s 4 star system)
The rap from the P2 anchor to the ground is 120 to 125 ft, so it’s not practical using a 70 m rope without some down climbing.
Protection: (1) #3, (several) #4’s with a mix of new and old sizes, (1 or more) #5 Camalots.
FA: Kent Pease and Dominique, March 2015.
