Description For those of you who A) are bored, B) nursing a grudge against Tom Randall and Peter Whittaker, or C) like crack climbing, then this (ahem) gem is for you!
Part of an "offwidth-roof circuit" at Lizard's Mouth (email me if you are interested), this line suffers through a roof-crack created by two boulders, a la Vedauwoo. Fairly painful, and definitely worth a roll of tape.
I didn't feel right about giving any stars to this problem, but I had a great time thrutching. You decide.
Location Downhill and to the left of Meilee. Start at the mouth of the dark, dank, and dirty cave. Jam hands, commence suffering.
Protection Definitely a pad or two. Your body hangs upside down most of the time, and there's a head-bashing rock right at the crux.

| You could, Brian, you could. The suck-factor would no doubt increase exponentially.
Get after it! |

| Conrats, Jon!
You officially have the 2nd Ascent of this "gem". I honestly never thought ANYONE would go do it after me. But, you gotta admit, it's kind of a lot of climbing for one little problem. |
