Description

Somewhat contrived - using the wide crack to the right (Aquarius) greatly reduces the difficulty. But commit to only the thin hands crack and the face above its end, and you are stepping into a real challenge. Climb up the thin hands crack (difficult start, then enjoyable climbing) to its end. Very committing, intricate face moves reach the top. Make a poor choice of line here and the difficulty rises well beyond 5.8; and the last gear is well below your feet.

Location

This is the thin crack which leans slightly leftward, diverging from the wide crack of Aquarius. It does not get to the top of the cliff.

Protection

Standard rack, emphasis on small to medium cams.
