Description

This is a dead vertical splitter finger tips crack for most of it's length. The crux is the first couple moves after leaving the ground, and it doesn't let up after that. Bad feet and technical movement demand a precise sequence and calm momentum. The only two good finger locks are the starting holds. After that, it's pure tips and tricks until you reach a sloped stance below two featured bulges. From here it's fun 5.9 until the crack traverses left. A couple tenuous moves left in a thin crack brings you to the last couple meters up the deep hand crack on neighboring Room To Tomb.

Location

Hidden deep in a corridor guarded by large boulders on the west side of The Tomb. Skirt the formation to the right (west) and find an opening between two pillars near the southwest corner. Enter here, tunnel left, then turn right to find the Room to Tomb chimney. Entombed is on the right hand north-facing wall.
