Nice light. Nice stem. Photo by Greg Miller.

At the hand jams in the middle of the 10 upper crack. Save a hand-sized cam for here--a #2 Camalot works.

At the stance above the ceiling. The foreshortening makes the gear took closer together than it really is. Or maybe not. Photo by Luke Clarke.

If you're tall or flexible enough, this wide stem takes a load off you hands.

Adam Brink. Not even breaking a sweat.

There's a decent rest if you step down. I missed this the first couple of times I tried this route, and tried to rest just above using the undercling, in a very precarious position.

Matt, just before the crux.

The crux is getting from the rest to here. Above this it's pumpy mid-10.

Get the jugs, then swing around left to a rest. This is 10 something.

This is the good hold at the end of the crux. Save a #0.1 or #0.2 to place at this stance.
