Description 

Left Nut is a right facing crack climb with good hands and feet with an off-width move about 4 pro placements up. Transverse to the left onto the ledge. Place pro with a sling before you move on to the finish. The tree is bomber for an anchor. Rappel down. You can walk down, but its steep with drops. The Left Nut is a fun crack climb.

Location 

High Rappel Wall. Granite Dells. South facing wall area.
The start is obvious.
Better to rappel down as the walk down is steep and has drops.

Protection 

Trad. I used 4 - #3 to the ledge. Then a #2 at the ledge with a sling.
The tree will be your anchor.
