Description

Climb the dirty, thin hands crack that overhangs significantly. Sadly, there is a cheater block in the first 10 feet of the climb for your feet.

Location

This thing is basically behind Valley Massif. Follow the trail past Screw. Then follow the faint trail going up over the hill directly behind the formation (note: don't follow the walkoff trail, cut left before it enters the woods). Once your on top of the hill, go into the next small, wooded valley, and start going downhill, bushwhack to a small cluster of boulders. This line faces downhill and is pretty obvious once you see it.

Protection

I used gear, if it was cleaner or I had the time to clean it it would probably be a boulder problem. However, the crux is the topout and a fall would be super gnarly tumble down an aspen hill.
