Description
"Mongo Like Crack" is the thin corner just right of 'Candygram for Mongo'. Start up the coarse, lichen covered slab below the corner. Find the small placement then clip the bolt to get to the base of the crack in the corner. Once at the corner (~5.8), follow it to the overhang. Slot several small pieces, then pull the face moves (5.10c) to gain the upper corner. Very nice!
