Description

The first ascent history on Little Possibility is lacking in details. If anyone knows the original name of this route, please update this post.

There's a big "S" shaped crack underneath the roof on Little Possibility Wall. More accurately, the S is made up of two separate curving cracks. This creates a fun, mid-wall, crack switch crux.

Pitch 1: follow easy broken terrain up to the bottom of the S crack where the wall steepens.

Pitch 2: climb the S, do the crack switch, then avoid the roof by cutting left around it via a diagonal crack system. Follow an easy "ladder" to the top.

Protection

A single rack will do.
