Description Suggest change

A striking OW line that I didn't see in the book or on MP. Might be 5.11 if you don't fit in the starting squeeze? If any info looks wrong, please feel free to comment so it can be changed.

There's a chossy approach no matter how you skin it. My partner and I scrambled up from the right side of the climb and traversed over left to the good belay ledge under the crack. But you can also head up the corner above the plaque (more direct). Be careful, this big starting ledge at the base of the crack might be falling away from the wall.

Once on the ledge, start up the hand crack to a tight squeeze, then into a great #5s crack. After the ledge/pod rest, the crack trends right and becomes #6s. At the end when the stacks get baggy, you can opt for a crack switch to the vertical #4s crack on the right to mantel to the finishing ledge.

Protection Suggest change

A #7 or #8 would protect the squeeze at the beginning (I didn't have one, so comment which would work). A few #5s and a few #6s for higher up. 2 bolt anchor with slings and biners.
