Description

Ah yes, a line for those of you who don't mind a little burly OW in your diet. Look for a roof crack a little ways left of Echoes. Climb the dihedral to a roof and out the crack to the lip. Here the crack widens and the crux is pawing up this bad boy or trying to dig deep for finger locks in the back. After the crux, cruise up the separated pillar to the chain anchors below another small roof.
