Description
So-named after the only note I could find near it on Howe's topo map on the main page. Dave, if you find the name, let's hear it! A cruiser start up a splitter crack that winds it's way up the climber's right wall of the gully leads to a stack of varied "crack boulder" problems, each increasing in difficulty, until surmounting the final challenge puts you in a stemmable notch with a two-bolt anchor (currently adorned with rusty chain, but bolts are good) that spits you out at the top of the Red Wall.
