Description
This is a really good climb that roughly follows a fingercrack/seam feature before busting right up some cool flakes for the top 30 feet. The difficult crux is protected by a bolt, but there is plenty of solid 5.11 climbing before and after the crux as well. There is a bit more rotten rock on this climb than many of South Nuttal's other cracks, and gear can be difficult to place. Brassies and ballnuts are useful.
This was originally led boltless by Mark Stevenson; Bryan McCray accidentally added the two bolts a bit later. You'll probably be glad for the bolts, though.
Location
Obvious thin finger crack on a buttress that is about 100 feet to the right, on a wall that is perpendicularly oriented in relation to Munson Burner/Temporary Insanity cliffline.
Protection
two bolts, lots of finger-sized and micro-brass, and two-bolt anchor at the top.
