[Hide Comment] The description for this climb is wrong but the overlay on the main page is correct. Tinkers Trough is the furthest left route here, that climbs an obvious trough with no plants in it. It begins in a crack on the RIGHT side of the trough. Very obvious in person, you can’t miss it. Jun 3, 2023
