Description Suggest change

Anyone that frequents Big Rock has likely walked right past this crack a million times and either ignored it or wondered what must be under its jungle of vines and briars. It took two days of excavating and gardening to clean, but here it is... a stellar new addition to Big Rock’s collection of classics. 

The crux gets on you fast and sustains for two or three moves. Getting into the crack is the business. Once there, find a few hand jams and work on your crack technique to get to easier ground. Gear is a bit tricky down low (depending on your stance, you may have a blind placement or two), but good. Singles of .3 through 2 sow it up. Rap/lower or choose the safe and easy walk-off. 

Bring your nut tool and help us continue to clean it out. With additional cleaning and a season of rain, this crack should only get better (and perhaps, a bit easier). Enjoy!
