Description 

This Lowe family testpiece, has seen few repeats. The casual looking splitter sports shallow, flaring jams with virtually no footholds and is much steeper than it looks! Surmount the first crux bulge with desperate slaps and jams; the upper crux involves insecure climbing through the awkward flare with a good crack in the back. A large hold at the crux may have fallen off sometime between 1986 and 2002, so the rating may feel very sand bagged. Fortunately, the gear on this one is bomber.
