Description

This is a low left to right traverse of the crimpy part of the East face. Start below the "Unworthy" starting crimps with a right hand crimp and left hand thumb catch. Left foot starts on a sharp rock on the ground, pistol squat to gain the rock island (same one used in "Tweaky Shit") with your right foot. Traverse right, staying low, until you reach the flake, then climb "The Flake" to top out. Described in the Gunks Apps guide and attributed to Yuki Ikumori. Very balancy, many possible betas to traverse the face.

[Hide Comment] Super fun. If this were in a gym, people would complain that you never find something contrived like this outside. Lol. Jun 5, 2021
