Description

A left leaning crack in the shallow, overhanging corner in the face. An excellent steep route with abundant protection.

Nothin to it - start up the crack from the ledge and don't let your right hand get too pumped! Bolted anchors on top which can be used for Grizzly as well.

This route seems to stay naturally very clean and the rock quality is excellent. It's also a favorite spot for some very large spider webs spanning the corner - seems they don't bite.
