Description
Right-leaning crack with some sustained and flared hands to fists jamming which requires going deep for solidity. The angle coupled with poor to non existent grainy footholds on the right face needing clean up from ascents make this climb that much more physical.
Location
Walk off and scramble just to the right.
Protection
Crack gradually widens from BD .75 to 4 at the top.
