Description This route is located on the right side of the canyon about 150 feet from the mouth. It climbs an obvious, splitter finger crack in a smooth slab.
This is one of the best 5.7 finger cracks around and a must do for the grade. Follow the splitter crack for about 50 feet until you do a rising traverse up and to the right. Rap from the bolt anchor above Air Arete, 5.10.
Protection Gear to #2 Camalot, with extra finger-sized cams.

| The climb can be continued up and left through a chimney feature. Then find a tree with slings to rap off. |

| Nice route but really pretty short. A couple of #0.5 Camalots sew up the crux. |

| This route is wonderful. You can find it on the right 200' up the canyon. It starts with 25' of fingers with solid stances for gear and ends with stemming in a chimney. It trends left at the top and into a wider crack system. I love this route.... |
