Description
Very obvious open book corner to the right side and almost immediately above group site 1. It looked striking from below but the fun part is pretty short. After consulting 4 different books for the area and not finding the climb I scoped out a possible descent and you can walk out on back. Decent rock with some kitty litter on the cracks but not too bad.
I'd imagine it's been done before but couldn't find any info on it at all despite the obvious line and location. If there is another name please change it/comment.
I had some durian there a couple of days before, there is some sharp rock as usual for J-tree, and the crack is like the opening of a durian, so just thought the name was good.
