Description

Tie in, scramble up to the sidewalk, put on your climbing shoes, and throw yourself up one of the most positive wide hand cracks you’ll get at Index. After the crack scramble into the v-slot and shred up to the anchor. Have a nut tool to easily clean the v-slot crack if needles are in the way.

As you lower, stay out of the ROPE EATING crack to the right of the Jam Session crack (Jazz Hands).

Protection

1 bolt protects the move into the crack (could be skipped/replaced with lower gear at the cost of horrible drag). Single set of cams with 2 - #3's. Thin crack to the top protects well with a black totem/BD 0.2. Ends on two bolt anchor with quicklinks, optionally traverse left from the two bold anchor to use the anchor (mussy hooks) for 5.10 in B-minor.
