Description
Starts up a right-facing flake or directly up the face to reach a finger crack at the base of a large hollow-sounding flake. Continue past the flake and over a small overlap/roof to a flared section (small gear in the back) and finish up a flake system with incut face holds.
Not your typical 5.8 route as it offers a wide variety of climbing styles and is sure to hold your attention throughout.
- Rated 5.6 until sometime in the 1980's when a block fell out of the crack.
