Description
This is the obvious left-to-right-angling crack on the slabby left end of the North Face. A cross between classic Looking Glass eyebrow-wandering and the more strenuous crack climbs to the right.
Begin by climbing up to, and then through, the fallopian chimney that marks the start. Thinking that this squeezer is 5.9 will only get you in trouble elsewhere. 5.8, 80'.
P2: 80 feet of right-leaning crack ends at a pair of bolts. This and the first pitch are easily combined; 5.9.
P3: Inobvious moves in the vicinity of a short vertical crack (5.9+) lead to easier ground up and left. Belay in a horizontal crack. 100'
P4: Standard 'Fields of Lichen Growing Wild'; eyebrow version. 5.7, 100'.
