Description

Even Popeye would catch a pump on this one, so eat yer spinach! This short climb defines the word splitter. Pull off the ground on tips locks and move into big fingers. The crack then widens to hands for a stretch and then unrelenting fists to the top. A powerful finish gains the chains. It's hard to believe that forty feet can pack such a wallop.

Location

The Pump Factory is the obvious crack splitting an orange 40' boulder uphill and right (east) of the Toprope Wall. Scramble to the base from the left side (easiest) or bushwack from the right.
