Description 

A forty foot crack with an incredible backdrop of the entire Ojai Valley. Nice finger sizes down low, larger and harder to protect up high.


Location 

Having completed the approach and standing at Couch Rock, head left and hike past the other towers on the ridge. When the downhill begins to become uphill, drop below the ridge on the side facing the valley. Continue back in the direction of Couch Rock, but now you should be traversing the base of the ridge's formations. Shortly, you will arrive at the 40 foot high, left leaning crack.


Protection 

Cams, #.75-#1

This line can be seen from pretty much anywhere in the Ojai Valley. It is the most easily seen crack on the largest face along Shelf Ridge.
