Description
Jon Skyes' "The Notches" (eaglecliffpub.com) names this climb "Oscar Mayer" and credits the FA to Uwe Schneider. (It is called "Cresent" in NEClimbs.com.) Uwe wrote and indicated he named the climb "Oscar Meyer Weiner" in 1986, but subsequently that name was used in 2012 by Mike Lee & J. Sykes for a climb on the far right of the slab, so to avoid confusion I named this climb just "Oscar Meyer". RHall note added 3/28/17, revised 1/14/18
A nice climb up a right facing corner crack, that leads to a bolt and then some nice balancy moves up to a really cool ledge. Finish up the left slanting exit crack to the trees.
The descent takes an 80m rope if you are being lowered back to the beginning of the climb. Otherwise, you can do two raps to get down, rethreading through the anchors at the top of Caveat Emptor (the bolted slab 5.9 to the right).
