Description

This is the overhanging fissure found in the corridor formed by the east side of King Otto's Castle. You can't miss it on the left side when you walk into the corridor.

Insecure overhanging finger slots to a hand jam. Then it eases off to being just hard up the vertical crack to the top. Ouch!
