Description
A short jamcrack packs some punch on this short but fun Sand Rock trad line.
Pull through a slight overhang on the nice chickenheads that are so common in this section of the Holiday Block, then move up to a shallow ledge below a short blank face. Puzzle your way up the face to a nice incut horizontal, then hand traverse left until you can pull up onto a prominent "plank" feature near the left end of the traverse. After getting a nice rest on the plank, move right to gain a slanting finger crack that widens to a hand/fist crack above (crux). Jam your way up this crack, then cruise to the top on easier ground.
