Description

Easy climbing past loose flakes behind the main flake through the beginning to some techy face climbing to an intimidating lieback. Inside of the crack is not amenable to confidence inspiring cams up high. Large hexes may be the way to go.

Location

Climb the obvious large flake.

Protection

Gear 3 to 5". Doubles in each nice.
