Description Suggest change

The route is a very obvious crack on Leftovers at Turkey rocks. Currently there is a dead tree leaning against the rock to the left of the climb.

The route starts with a scramble up to a small roof. To tackle the large offwidth through the roof is more diffucult than 5.8 head on. Use the crack in the face to the left to pull the roof. After the roof you'll find some great offwidth that at times seems bottomless. Work your way directly up the crack to the next roof with a right angling crack. We ended the first pitch under this roof. The right angling crack was fun but not nearly as difficult as the first pitch. This crack tops out on a ramp and several variations lead to the top.

Rap off slings around chockstone to the back of the rock and proceed right between Leftovers and Turkey Rock to the base of the climb. I enjoyed the climb. It was in the true Turkey Rock style, nothing graceful about it.

Protection Suggest change

Several #3 and #3.5 Camalots work well protecting the first pitch. Despite the word fist in the name it is much larger. The belay above the first pitch will require #2 Camalots.
