Description
Just a few feet right of 'Thin Crack', there is a shallow, right-facing corner. This is far easier than Thin Crack and takes good gear. This may be an optimal way to set up a TR for the harder route as well, if you prefer that option.
Step up and right onto a pedestal to access the overhanging splitter, and climb up into that as it becomes an shallow. right-facing corner for a few body-lengths. Beyond that it goes to jugs and seams, and can be protected where necessary. Traverse to the left when you reach an obvious ledge, to join Inner Sanctum.
The rock here is pretty good, compared to the rest of the area nearby.
Location
5' right of the beginning of 'Thin Crack' and perhaps 15' right of Inner Sanctum, this climb goes up an overhanging splitter (not as wide as it looks) and up to a shallow, right-facing corner and then up jugs, and seams to the ledge 50' off of the ground. You can belay on mixed cams and a cord, or continue up and left through a corner and up a face as per Inner Sanctum.
