Description Suggest change

An overhanging offwidth corner crack starting at butterfly stacks and opening past chicken wings. Starts by stepping up off of the deck on the block low on the ground on a stack. Be careful at the beginning, as there's a detached flake behind you that you swing into if you blow the opening moves (not bad, but wear a helmet just in case). Continue up the crack on tenuous stacks past a sloper ledge into and past a squeeze to gain a top out via a horizontal finger crack for a single move. The anchor is finicky but safe, built off of the busted up kitty litter and boulders directly above the line. You can hike off this line when you clean the anchor. If you know where the uphill entrance is to this cave, it's a 30 second walk off; if not, you can hike back around to the main cave entrance.

Location Suggest change

This route is the overhanging offwidth crack on the righthand side of the cave (when walking in from the SE Buzzard's Roost wall) containing Joy Crack and Tunnel Vision. This is not in the same "room" as those two climbs; it is in the first passage as you enter the tunnel. It's the most obvious crack in the cave.

Protection Suggest change

4, 4, 5, 5, 6 if you're bold
