Hopefully this shot does a good job of showing the line dead-on without shadows obscuring the crack itself. With care, you could keep the rope out of the upper crack when toproping.

Racking up for the Jew.

Nice ledge.

Yet further.

Farther up.

The direct finish. Gear was better than expected. Once stood up on the hump to my right, I used the arete on the right to make the final face moves. Plan B is to move left into a crack between this and Honky Jam Ass Crack.<br>

Perfect jams and much more consistent jamming than on the neighboring Honky Jam Ass Crack. Even so, there are some edges on which you can take a break.<br>

Ross through the traverse, onward and upward!

Easy warm-up; low angle.

In the wide section, nice ledge for the right foot.

Sewing it up.

Fun.

Starting the climb.

Classic crack.
