Description

Gnar Butter ascends a spicy, steep hand/finger crack - a great crack climb for Nirvana Wall. The protection goes in well, but make sure the rock is solid. There are spots with choss. The crux is the first 2/3 of the route. Pull the overhang, and cruise up 5.6/5.7 terrain to the two bolt anchor.
