Description
Kizashi is a Japanese word meaning “a sign of great things to come”, which is an apt name for such a stellar climb. The climb ascends a crack system of varrying widths but would be very difficult to protect as most of the cracks don't go very deep. There is a fair amount of hand jamming, ring-locking, and finger locking to be found on the climb, but much of it can be circumvented by better face holds or using the crack as a sidepull. The climb has two distinct crux sequences, both in the upper half and separated by a good rest.
If you are feeling especially strong, the extension to this climb goes at .13b
