Description
This route is Awesome!! The original crack line was good however Luke Ross had an "Awakening " and saw the direct finish- truly making it a Black Hills Classic ! I had pleasure of helping him bolt this amazing line.
Two bolts lead to a slightly overhanging hand crack- having 3 #3 cammalots is the ideal rack but you can get by with 2 and double #2's- singles on the rest- slinging your gear is helpful for rope drag. The crack narrows to fingers then bolts on the face head wall. Save a medium piece in between last bolt and anchors. Many different cruxes will test all of your climbing skills-
