Description

Hands Where I Can See 'Em starts with a short easy slab up to the corner, then an offwidth section protectable with a 5 or 6 deep in the crack. The offwidth then pinches to steep glory hands to the lip of the roof. Above this roof lies lower-angle broken cracks and blocks before the shared anchor with Unnecessary Gruffness.

Location

About 20' around to the right from Fingering' it Out, in the first obvious right-facing inside corner.

Protection

Singles 0.4-5, doubles 0.75-3 will sew this up. Don't forget the big guy for down low. 2-bolt anchor with stainless bolts and links at the top.
