Description Walk to the right around from the Mel Cracks, this climb is the last significant crack system before the crag peters out.
A steep route.
Ledges lead to the meat of the climb, a steep fingers to hand crack (small cam) which is followed to a nice hand-rail below the final bulge (comforting medium cam). Stepping left to good holds seems like the right thing to do, then head up from here. Sling a boulder for the belay.
Protection Small and medium cams, sling a boulder for the anchor.

| This is a great crack and I found it to be quite pumpy - a little stiff for the grade. Worked me hard but loved every minute of it! |

| Agreed that this was a bit harder than advertised. I felt .8+/.9- was more on target. Fun route and protects well. I really suggest a direct start - not the start off the block. A stopper will protect moves off the deck. Suggested on a sunny afternoon (if you're looking to get in the shade for a break. Walk down fine, just a little time consuming. |

| Ya I hopped on this looking for a 5.7 like the Vogel Guide said. I was definitely interested, held my attention, angered my lady. I went back on toprope and tried lying back the top part, still hard Jtree 5.8/5.9 anywhere else fo sho.
Thought the route was short, fun, pumpy. |

| Agree that this is stiff for a 5.7, even by JTree standards. Protects well, though, and is fun (but short.) |
