Description
A really good intro to Wall 2. The obvious straight-up crack gives you good moves with a couple of shelf cruxes and a flaring seam about halfway. Great fingers and edges throughout. Finish over the chockstone at the top. (Staying in the crack for the cruxes will get you the 5.7; using the face definitely brings the grade--and fun--down a bit.) The rap station is right there, making this a fun, quick lap before jumping on the more sporty "Barracudas!"
Protection
A rack of singles to 4" and a few extra finger pieces if you want to sew it up. (Pink, red & brown tri-cams and/or some offset nuts work well, too.)
RAPPELLING NOTE:
Once you're down, make sure to pull rope left of the route. There's a semi-notorious crack that gobbles ropes up there if you pull straight down...
