Description

This beauty follows the obvious crack all the way from the base of the route to the anchors. The crux is the bouldery start where you are pulling on the crack with the only feet being seams under the chest high roof. After getting your feet on the face of the climb, things mellow out.

After reaching the large horizontal crack and avoiding the tree on your right, it fits with the theme of route to continue climbing the crack instead of going left where easier paths may be found.

FYI, I have picked a name for the route but if others know an original name, please update.

Location

Using the main climbers trail, head northwest from Buzzard Cave wall and it will be the second set of anchors you find, ~35 yards. Look for the cave with the chest high roof and large vertical crack.
