Description
There is an excellent hand crack starting half way up the Tiger Slab. Directly below it is very blank.
To get to the crack, start 20 feet right of the crack up a shallow corner for about 30 feet, until the obvious horizontal crack. Traverse left for 20 feet along this horizontal past a block (solid to hold, not for gear) to the base of the hand crack. Climb the hand crack through a break. When the crack peters out, exit to the right via reachy moves.

Protection
Standard rack to 4 Camalot. Double up on 75, 1 and 2 Camalot if it's at your limit. Excellent Pro.
Top anchor is a tree at the lip of the cliff, there is a bit of rope and a mallion in place as a rap station. The rap station is roughly half way between the start and finish of the route so the route can be cleaned on rappel or toproped without a dangerous swing.
