Description

This smallish crag is blessed with pure and perfect varnish. On the left side of the SW face is a steep straight-in crack. This is the 211 Crack (5.10c).

Getting There

From the Arrowhead, The Grand Fuqua is reached by continuing over the notch about 50 yards (The Stepping Stones will be coming into view below), at which point you will see some enticing, varnished crags on your left.

211 is a straight, steep crack on the second of these crags.
