D. Lucander on the crux of Ambien Knights

Description 

Climb a short face to the overhang. Over the hang at the thin seam (crux) then straight up the face to a small pine. Abseil from there or traverse up and right to a larger and more secure tree.

Location 

Try and find the start to Animal Farm, a large, bright orange and overhanging right-facing corner system. This is 300 feet or so after the popular and obvious right-leaning crack of Easter Time Too. From the Animal Farm corner, go left for approximately 100 feet and look for a small overhang that is 15-20 feet up which has a thin seam in the face immediately above; that is the start.

Protection 

Standard 'Gunks rack.
