Description
If it were longer it would absolutely be maximum stars quality but even so it’s really good. Get into the flare and power up over a couple small roofs and through a brief splitter to the obvious jutting flake...which felt solid to pull/stand on but not sure I’d recommend pro’ing it up but perhaps the safest option is a med/large size nut on the right. The remainder of the difficulties are also finger size dependent as the crack slowly thins and the corner angle changes.
I would recommend fixing a rope and crowbarring the entire mess of flakes off the wall (100’s of pounds). It’s a serious timebomb for sure. I climbed the route on 12/24/18 and removed an extremely loose keyed-in flake from its bottom and unfortunately that rained down a bunch of sand and bird shit, so whomever goes up next will need to brush much of the crack. Sorry. I think with the hollow/loose flakes removed, the crack will no longer get sandy and this route will become a safe and timeless cliff classic!
Also, be careful when pulling the rope as to not get it wedged in that jutting flake...
