Description
This route was first done by Chris Pelczarski and Craig Kenyon using a shoulder stand to bypass the overhanging offwidth start. Jack Torness led the FFA. The start without a shoulder stand goes at about a V4 boulder problem.
Location
Look for the obvious direct crack right behind the Twisted Tree at the base of the spire. The overhanging offwidth section at the bottom is a dead give away.
Protection
Bring lots of C3s and small nuts. If you want to do the route in the style of the FFA, solo the beginning without any gear or a harness. Then, after passing the crux, wedge yourself into the chimney above and have your friends throw you a harness, rope, and gear. This way, you will avoid having to use any wide gear at the bottom.
Beta Bonus Clue: A number five is a tasty treat at the slab topout.
Descent is a Needles Style Rappel however you see fit.
