Description 

Perfect tight hand crack on not too steep rock. The crux is the start as it's the narrowest jamming / steepest. Still a very moderate climb. Beautiful intro to hand jamming.

Location 

Head uphill on a low angle slab from the bend in the road just uphill from the Poison Oak Crack. Can be seen from the road.

Protection 

Solo or cams. Camalots #0.5-#1. #1-3 for the anchor. Very comfortable solo, but landing is pretty treacherous.
