Description

This is a difficult one in regards to how much it means to me and the over all perfect ascetic nature of the route! It makes a description almost impossible to write as there are no words to express how perfect of a line The Darwin Splitter is!!!
One of the most surreal and nastalgic lines you will ever climb!!

Location

Obvious mega splitter hand crack to chimney, splitting the center of the super clean Evolution wall!!

Protection

Gear to 5", doubles from finger to hand size pieces!!

5.8+?

This rating was suggested by a couple of MP users after having a humbling day in the Tahquitz BC. Several of the best climbers I know have all done this route and the general census is that this route is 5.10a not 5.8
