Description

The lower half of the route involves strenuous (5.9+) chimneying and stemming. The upper part ascends a near vertical, thinning finger crack. The crux is the very last move to the ledge.

Location

This is the large flaring chimney which makes up the bottom of Bird of Prey. It is to the left of Fledgling Crack.

Protection

Per the supertopo: nuts, 1-2 each .5-1.5".
