Description
If you're willing to put up with a junky start, there's a nice left leaning finger and hands crack just right of Whaleback Crack. I recommend starting as for Whaleback crack and then breaking right onto this route vs starting in the next dihedral over. The crack starts very thin, then turns to big/ off fingers, with some hand size pods closer to the anchor.
Location
One route to the right of Whaleback Crack. Shares anchors with Whaleback Crack.
Protection
Gear to 2". Micro cams and medium sized nuts very useful for establishing into initial thin crack.
