Description
This route climbs the most obvious crack system on the face, between the bolted lines of Possessed by Elvis and Flake and Bake. Start by a boulder that spans the gap at the base of the wall.
Go up and left above the boulder and the chasm to gain the prominent crack. Climb the slightly right-slanting crack above a horizontal and past a bulge (crux), which is followed by fun climbing up the steep, varnished crack above.
Build an anchor in the horizontal crack above the top of the crack using cams up to a gold Camalot. This anchor can be used to TR Flake and Bake. After you are done climbing, traverse off to the right and then downclimb a chimney.
