Description
Interesting and continuous face climbing up the broad "nose" just right of Ken's Crack. Boulder up to a big horizontal, then begin a series of crimpy balancy moves up to a final slabby bulge at the top.
Obviously, given its location, this must have been done many times, but it's not in the Williams Guide. The Gunks App calls it "Ken and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" but no FA is listed. Two cruxes of fairly similar difficulty at about 15' and 25'.
The route goes essentially straight up from the start (below) to the anchors with one brief jog right at about 30'. Any hold on Ken's is too far left.
