Description Suggest change

An inspiring line from the road. As far as a "hand crack" goes, either Kent has hulk hands or the pillar shifted... or perhaps the name was established to entice future ascents. However, the reality is that this is a mostly #4 crack. However, having saying that, it's one of the better #4 cracks I've climbed. Orginally 11-, but I gotta give it an ambiguous desert 10+. 

Location Suggest change
