Description
At the far left (north) end of the west face of Locomotion Rock there are two obvious, slightly left-leaning hand cracks that go from near the ground to the top of the rock. This climb is the left of the two parallel cracks. Jam up the crack to the top of the route. The protection is mostly straight forward and good. The crack shallows and flares near the top of the route making most people run out that portion. Trad anchor atop the route.
To descend, there is a rappel anchor on the next crack to the right (Leaping Leaner). Big jugs allow for an easy mantle to go over the top and down to the anchor.
