Description
The route described as a butt crack flare in kelley's "creek freak". Climb fingers to a ledge and then continue on with tips (0.3) and stemming in a shallow left facing corner. Commit to the corner and climb fingers up into the butt. Here, the rock deteriorates and the climbing gets varied and shitty. Awkward and flared jamming with occasional rests brings you to the top
The guidebook describes this pitch as 5.12- and 4/5 stars. As is, I think this route is overrated and over graded. 5.11 and 2 stars seems more accurate to me
