Description
Helen Keller's slot climbs the right facing dihedral. It's a bit of an awkward climb, but I found it very enjoyable. Knowing how to hand jam as well as grovel up some off-width will come in handy. The crux will be either getting in and out of the overhanging off-width section or clipping and moving past the second bolt. Try to save your energy down low as it does not let up towards the top. The route protects very well with a standard rack and needs nothing larger than a #3 bd c4.
