Description
This is the overhanging corner formed by the intersection of the two walls. The bottom has some interesting stems and a burly pull above your gear onto the ledge that splits the route in half. From the ground it looks like you would be able to get a good rest here but the wall is so overhanging that you can't really manage much more than a shakeout. From here, lieback and stem the nice corner to the top of the formation, then traverse right a short distance to the anchors for Cholla.
Protection
Light rack; lots of bomber nut placements on this route. A #4 Camalot fits perfectly as your first piece above the ledge. Bringing one is highly recommended as you'll have trouble getting another piece in without pulling some moves in ground fall range.
If you didn't bring your rack, this crack is now bolted, with chains & carabiners at the top.
