Description

Start up the short, right facing corner to gain a small ledge below the crack. Plug a few more pieces in the finger crack and then follow it up around the EXTREMELY loose, huge block (crux). This block is so loose it moved when I barely grazed it with my shoulder.

You could very easily link Crusher and Crispy Critters into one long pitch without too much drag.

Location

Old Man's traverse ledge about 10 feet above the Front C tree and about 35 feet directly below Crispy Critter. Belay from two small trees to the right of the route to stay out of the fall zone should the loose block give way.

Protection

Small cams (Metolius TCU 01 to BD .5/1).

Right above the block is a perfect hand crack that takes a number 2 to protect upper moves and top out. A number one kinda of works but I would suggest changing it to include num 2.
