Description
A big sweeping left-leaning crack that varies from underhung finger to off width and then hand jams and face climbing, the difficult crack is one of the biggest and hardest routes on the main wall.
While it could go on gear it’s mostly climbed on top rope, and the anchors are near the top of the crack, which means that projecting the bottom you want to swing way left of the line.
The route follows the crack from the bottom where the starting foot is hidden behind a tiny bush, up finger jams and crimps with poor feet into a band of conglomerate with a hand crack that widens into an offwidth that splits around a chock stone. Above the chock stone the line gets easier and trends left with easier hand jams and slabby foot placements.
