Description

Look for a hand crack that goes about half way up the wall, before turning into a fairly juggy face climb. Crux is getting off the ground - layback to the right, and look for a high left foot. After the crack, trend to the right on the slab and top the route.

Location

from the stairs, follow the Main Canyon Left until it narrows and splits with Main Canyon Right. Look to your left at the neck of that narrowing, and you'll see the crack (goes half way up the wall)
