Description 

Begin by climbing The Black Crack. When you get to the point you can step right and access the bolted anchors, continue up and left in the crack and flake system. Make a few exciting moves up and left to get to a good stance. You can place good gear here (hand-sized cam) and a few other good pieces several feet up (good nut and green Camalot). Make a delightful mantle move (crux) and situate yourself so you can plug in a piece or two. Traverse left finding several good gear placements along the way and eventually finish on the crux of Tongo.

Location 

Same start as The Black Crack--next to The Gill Crack.

Protection 

Standard rack--extra mid-small cams.
