Description
A beautiful 5.9 hand crack that is a good way to fill the time if you're waiting in line for "Gem" or "Colorado Crack." Crux for me was the wide section at the beginning and there is an awesome rest about 2/3rds the way up. After the rest the steepness eases and the crack widens.
Location
The route is located on the north side of Conan's Corridor. To approach walk to the routes like "Colorado Crack" and go north. Scramble down and to the left until the ground flattens out. The crack will become visible as you approach it. It is the route directly to the left of Pictures at an Exhibition. To descend, just walk west.
