Description
A tantalizing splitter that begs to be climbed.
Pitch 1: starts off a tad steep, tricky and thin (crux of the route); jam your way through the 0.5s til it opens to perfect hands. Continue rambling up the crack then right facing corner to the obvious belay ledge over a bulge on the left. [5.10b]
Pitch 2: get back in the crack, now a perfect low angle hand crack, after about 20 feet traverse right to a separate crack system (nerviosismo criss-crosses the route here and heads left up a dike). The crack now pinches down to a perfect beautiful finger crack. Looking up you’ll think how can this only be 5.9! But Its low angle and the slab is gritty.
[5.9]
