Description
Starts by tunneling under a enormous boulder (see location) and then climbs a generic slab past a solitary bolt to a healthy runout as the angle eases to a horizontal (medium gear possible here) then romp up the slabby apron above to the top of the finishing block of Pope's Crack. Gear belay and wander down to the communal rap anchor in the area.
Location & Approach
Approach as for Pope's Crack but continue on until reaching an enormous boulder which appears to block passage; tunnel under it and then make your way to the top of the boulder to reach the start of the route. The Tucker-Powell is just to the left of this route.
