Description
Climb the short hand crack to a V slot/notch. Find the good holds, and head up to the wide crack. Only a few OW moves are required. There are plenty of knobs and edges you can use to kind of stay out of the crack.
Protection
Standard rack and one bolt for the exit move out of the crack. You can probably get away with two #4 Camalots, but a #5 might be nice.
