| The crack is mostly too wide (except the start) to jam so I chimneyed the whole thing. Didn't feel like .9+ doing it in that style. Maybe .8. Good pro in right corner, yellow Alien to #3 Camalot and nuts. No need for large pro. Good route! |

| I remember getting great cups and fists in the splitter. We took several laps on this thing climbing the cracks separately. Whatever way you climb it, it is a fun and worthy line. |
