Description 

climb up the right angled beginning finger to hand sized crack with some pretty solid toe hooks into a pretty good jug to match on, pull your foot into the triangular shaped hole and cantilever your knee in, turn your hips,layback on the wide crack at the top or treat it like an offwidth.


Location 

facing the Yosemite Boulder from the round pond side, walk around the right side and look up, if you walk to climbers left from the bolts on the yosemite boulder, it will be about 30 feet around from there.


Protection 

crash pad or two, I put my back pack under the pad covering the death spike under the route to make the landing "softer" either way, you don't want to fall after half way.

I hate to be the quality police but can this get re-written in understandable English?

I think he means "climb the crack and corner system," although this does have a story behind it. We were warming up in the Zoo when he came asking about this climb. He told us it was the crack over the death spike, so we assumed he meant the six foot tall spike beside the Yosemite Arete and told him it was about V4. I have no idea what this climb is actually graded because nobody ever does it...
