Description Suggest change

First edition guide says, "Fifty feet of straight in tips splitter crack that would look right at home in Squamish - if Squamish was covered in poison-ivy vines."  The crack was cleaned and scrubbed of all poison ivy vines in March of 21'.  This route is on par with The Shining and The Beckoning in regards to the finger locking fun, imo.  Get on it and keep this beauty clean!

Location Suggest change

Pretty unmistakable splitter.  Walk climber right towards Fire and Ice Buttress from Rico and the route will be right of Louisiana Lou-Dawg and the Tickle of Poon.  The large boulders near the trail serve as a good marker because the route starts just left of them.  

Protection Suggest change

Fingers to hands, stoppers, and 2 bolts at the top to a bolt anchor. Gear is great and the hardware is spankin' due to the hardworking folk of NRAC (donate to NRAC).
