Description Suggest change

A thin start leads to a narrowing splitter.  The splitter tapers down from thumbstacks to fingers to a boulder problem through the roof.  

This is likely the testpiece of the wall.  It is located on the North Facing side of the wall about 40' right of the Zits/Horse Crack zone.  The curious chockstone at the bottom was quite solid and immovable at the time of the FA.  

Walk the plank with a #3 on a double length to access the crack.  From here 1-2x Green C3-0.5 and 3-4x 0.75 camalot will get you to the chains.  Not your typical creek climb.  

Location Suggest change

Follow the approach trail across the meadow along the base of the talus cone to the NE corner of the wall and approach just left of Overthruster.  Continue around the corner to the North Face.  

Protection Suggest change

2x green C3 - 0.75 camalot plus a #3 camalot.
