What not to do, ha! <br> <br> The bushy crack climbers right of Austin is correct. The crack he's is in is fun, but you'll receive no mercy with rope drag while pulling the crux and then on the final traverse to the belay.

The airy traverse. A BD #3, #1 and #2 worked just great and I removed the #2 once at the ledge to use for the belay anchor. There's a fixed nut down low in the arching wide section, after the step across.
And then there's the step over move ... nice to have a stuck nut on both sides to clip ...

Hopefully this helps: basically straight up through the grass. Tenuous and tricky pro and definitely runout, but it's all there even if it doesn't look like it.
