Description 

Start Cross Cut in the corner using the Yogi's Choice start.

P1 follows the flaring crack diagonally for 75 feet to the anchor above MargaSukha P1. There are loads of cam placements; it is roughly 5.7.

P2 of CC (E) follows diagonally right to a short, bolted headwall, but most of the traverse is on trad gear. The headwall on P2 is difficult, with a crux found standing up at bolt 1. The difficulty ends after standing above bolt 3. The rock quality is excellent. P2 can be combined with "D" for a more straight-up variation.

Location 

Start in the corner at Yogi's Choice.

Protection 

Bring a good range of cams up to 3-4 inches. There are three bolts in the headwall below the anchor. A 70 meter or double ropes is required to rap to the ground from the double bolt anchor at the top of P2.
