Description Suggest change

In my opinion this is the most striking line at Muscle Beach. You can't miss this splitter fist crack and offwidth.

It starts out as a hand crack, quickly widens and never stops. By the time you get to the ledge you will need a skin (or tape) transplant and it may be easier just to bail and skip the upper "pitch." It looks hard for the grade anyway!

Location Suggest change

From the main corner, follow the cliffline right, around a corner and past a very wide dihedral (Last Wave 5.7). Rocket Man is the first of two splitter cracks on the wall past the dihedral.

Protection Suggest change

Don't bother with anything smaller than a #2 camalot. Belay and rappel from a tree on the ledge (or the summit if you go on).
