Description
Great little line. Start up a staircase-like feature as seem from the side. Rise up to get finger in the good crack up top. A great traverse to the left await to gain the smaller crack that will lead you up to the anchor. The hands (and gear) on the traverse are both stellar, but the same cannot be said for feet.
Once the main finger crack is in reach up left, use thin finger locks, toe jams & precarious (for the grade) smearing on the slabby wall. The gear on that section is tricky to place and real estate is limited (the crack isn't continuous, but rather made of a series of pods, so finger locks compete with gear placements...).
Wasn't sure how to rate that one - guidebooke says 5.6 (haha). 5.7 might be okay, but it seemed the traverse is a little way out there for 5.7.
