Description

Start by following thin finger cracks up the easy slab toward the small alcove below the crack. Place a couple good pieces at the lip, and climb out on hand and fist jams and a couple useful hidden holds within the crack.

Location

This is the obvious crack that splits the first tall part of the crag when approaching down the drainage. It's on the furthest left (west) end of the crag. See the photo.

Protection

A single rack up to #4 should be fine. Use long cordalette or rope to sling a large boulder/chockstone in a constriction behind the rock on your climber's right side when you reach the top. Carefully climb the easy notch with your back to the right side to exit the top out area, and walk off/scramble to the right (east).
