Description 

Right up the wide crack north of Finger Games. It makes an okay lead if you’ve got a couple of big pieces and you're bored. I suggest huge protection with the smallest size conceivably working being a 4" piece, though the crack is somewhat irregular and you may be able to make something smaller work. The second half of the climb eases up in difficulty to the point that protection probably isn't necessary...

I belayed my second up using a large block at the top.

Protection 

Big pro. #4-6 Camalots and Big Bros. Easier terrain above takes more standard protection.
