Description

Start in short shallow V-crack a few feet left of The Itch. A couple finger jams will get you off the ground. Then use small edges to reach the ledge which forms the bottom margin of a 3 ft high hole in the wall. There's a wedge shaped block on the right side of the ledge. High-step up over the roof above the ledge (without stepping on the block, according to Swartling/Mayer). Finish on the face above with balancy moves on small edges.

This is #13 in Swartling/Mayer's book.

Location

Go to the eastern end of Poison Ivy, where the wall has a long horizontal crack that runs across at about half height. Look for where the crack is interrupted by a 3 ft high by 6 ft wide hole in the wall. There is a shallow V-crack that leads to the middle of the hole.
