Description

Start with hands high, the left in the crack and the right in a good pocket. Follow the widening vertical crack through an overhanging shelf at top. Finding a convenient root for a handhold keeps the top out relaxed but other options exist for the purist.

Location

Walk past Roof Rock. Before you get to the power line clearing, you will cross a gully that comes down to the trail, with rocks scattered on both sides of the gully. There is a large anvil shaped free standing boulder about 100 ft uphill from the trail on the right side of this gully. This problem is on the uphill side of the boulder.
