Description 

Climb the crack through 3 bulges, the last feeling the hardest to me.

The split rating is due to height. If you're tall enough to reach out right from the 1st flared handjam this will feel easier. If not, you have to use another flared jam above the 1st which is not quite as good.

Location 

After hiking south past the huge overhang area and a bouter near the trail, begin looking for a crack going through 3 bulges.

Protection 

Pro to 2", doubles from .75-2" might be useful. Bring a few slings for chickenheads above the last bulge. Tree anchor/rap.
