Description

Fault Line is a thin seam which looks easier than it is. More of a slab route with a faint crack for to allow protecting. You'll hardly ever find an actual fingerlock, and when you do, you'll want to quickly fill it with gear. 

Location

From the top to the Tibetan Tower, climb up trending left past a couple bolts to a two bolt anchor. Climb the sinister crack above which peters out near the top. 

Protection

Lots of small stuff. Black alien is the biggest cam.
