Description Suggest change

An excellent finger crack with several distinct cruxes. Personally, I had more trouble figuring out the alleged 5.11- first pitch than the 5.12- second, but they're both a whole lot of fun.

P1: Ascend obvious crack line to the right of the Mr. Big Stuff corner. Get up into the wide opening then crank on numerous finger locks over a roof (crux) and to a ledge. There's a single belay bolt directly over the crack.

P2: A few feet to the right, there's a lovely thin seam cutting through deep orange rock. There are several seams in the area -- this one has two pitons! Fire upward through an excellent layback sequence (crux) until able to gain the base of a small corner. Rest up, pull the bulge, and continue up to bolted anchors.
