Description Suggest change

Best get your mind right for this one.

Start up a moderate face and corner crack system until you reach the first of two arching cracks, easily visible from the ground. Find some way to transition from the right-leaning crack (easy!) through shockingly steep terrain to the second, left-leaning crack (hard!). Aim for the jug above the latter crack and hold on tight (crux!).

Achieve the alcove above. Wonder why it's not that great of a resting position. Wonder why the gear isn't as good or as obvious as it should be. Bemoan both of these facts, then try to rest and stitch up as much as you can manage, because you're a good 15-20 feet from your next placement.

Up and right over the small bulge above the alcove is your path to salvation, and the moves become more casual after the small sloping ledge is achieved. From that point forward, there's only a piece or two of gear in the 30ish foot run to the chains, so keep your eyes peeled and don't fall on the easy part.

Location Suggest change

30 feet left of Only On Earth

Protection Suggest change

Intestinal fortitude. A couple tiny cams wouldn't hurt, but the crux gear is standard size. Bolted anchor (shared with Only On Earth)
