Description 

Crux is up high so watch your ankles!

A stellar line anywhere. Powerful moves lead to delicate moves lead to an exciting crux leads to a juggy finish.

Sit start has been done, adds some difficulty (V9-ish) but detracts from the quality.

Location 

The big red overhang, past the warm up rock, up the hill from Slappin' the Captain, and immediately to the East of the Tortoise boulder. I need an overview topo for the Alf Rig area...

Anyway, stand start on two slopers kind of on the left side of the overhang, use the undercling to gain the slick ledge. Dive right to the weakness on the lip and pull around and up to the jugs.

Protection 

pads and spotters. The big rock has hurt many an ankle.
