Description
A nice route, but the crux is short and the rest of the route is a slabby crack to a broken end. Maybe 1.5 stars.
Find the route just downhill from Kirk's Corner in an obvious R-facing dihedral with several large boulders at the base.
Start with a small boulder problem to get on top of the boulder resting against the wall. The short (~10ft) thin crack is the crux, but takes a couple small stoppers and cams. Fire through this section and cruise the rest. Set the anchor at the last vertical block (not on top of it) to reduce rope drag for a TR (w/ 60m). Walkoff to descend.
