Description Grovel, grovel, and grovel some more in this full-body offwidth. Crux, for many, is just moving up - not everyone can climb offwidth.
Location Climb the big, obvious offwidth crack 10 feet left of Fickle Fingers and 20 feet left of Golden Dream. Route goes to the right of the large chockstone at the top. Easy walk-off.
Protection Decent gear, especially off to the sides. Gear-only anchor at the top.

| I didn't see the "decent" gear as described above. It's an offwidth the entire way, with very little gear. A #5 is too small to protect the offwidth. I would not lead this climb, as I don't think it takes great pro. The climbing is easy (think lay back the entire way)and there are a couple of horizontals. But, you are going to solo a LONG way before you get in any pro. Fun to TR, good for moderately experienced newbs. |
