Description Varying from tight hands to fists/offwidth and back to hands and fingers, with plentiful face holds and a slopey finish, Graham's is one of the many Steele classics.
Location Distinctive varying crack to the left of a large boulder and 15' right of Papillon.
Protection Trad gear to #3 Camalot. Bolted anchors. Bring big gear to sew up the crux if needed.

| Great splitter crack climbing! I'll admit my crack technique isn't the best, but the original 5.7 rating on this route is a real sandbag. The climbing is pretty sustained with little opportunity for rests (with the possible exception of a "thigh-jam" in the wide section). Also, some bigger gear in the #4-5 camalot range, while not mandatory, can increase your comfort level. |

| can climb with face holds/lieback, real crack technique needed to stay in the crack through the crux. |

| It is hard to miss this beauty, nothing but interesting moves for the first 40ft. Really pumpy for a route this grade but then again I think I tried placing gear in the worse places. |
