Description 

This is the bolted layback crack in a very steep, arching, right-facing dihedral on the left side of the wall (sorry trad purists...but the gear options were too poor and the climbing too good). It is surmounted via underclinging, laybacking, and precise pasting of your feet on the smooth righthand wall. Pumpy and excellent, an area classic!

Location 

About 100' left of Refrigerator Chimney; it's the very steep, right-arching and right-facing dihedral.

Protection 

6 bolts to clip-and-lower anchors
