Description 

Instead of starting out on the crack, climb the face directly below the vertical section of the crack. The crux is below any pro, so don't fall until you get up to the crack.


Protection 

Friends to 2 1/2" and nuts.

There are also chains on the top of the crack, which can be accessed climbing the wall (5.0) through the trees on the left (street) side of the main wall. Go the the edge, and then follow the fence for thirty feet.

The tree to access the top is gone. We've been asked not to take the 5.0 route because of all the choss that gets knocked off on to the side walk and cars below. Please use steps near AK rock to avoid issues with the residents.

This is a fun route. Balancing on your toes with not much for hands until you get to the crack.
Be aware that people do walk their dogs here. It's rare but sometimes people don't pack out the dog doop like they should.
One unlucky day my buddy ended up with poo on his rope.

Its true. One more reason not to step on your rope.
