Description
This route follows the obvious crack system up the inside of the Amphitheatre to the West bench. To begin, start near the inside western corner and locate the large crack system. (It starts just below the dihedral) Follow the line up through ledges and chimneys to the West bench. This would make a good beginner's lead as it is well protected for a flatirons route. Pat Ament rates this climb 4th class but I would disagree with this rating if you start in the crack and follow it the whole way. (Perhaps this is just an old-school rating)
