Description
Steep and possibly slippery with great protection highlight the first part of this climb. If you make it through this section, catch a breather, and expect a complete different set of climbing skills for the remainder of the route. Bring some small gear for the upper portion. This is a great climb from start to finish. Tape those mitts....
Location
This route is on a large boulder that sits above and to the right of the Main Wall. As you approach the Hog Heaven area it will be the first formation you encounter but it is several yards uphill off the approach trail. The route/crack angles towards the right and will be obvious as you bushwhack to the start.
