Description
This route climbs an obvious wide splitter crack West of Shelter From the Storm. The original intention was to go to the top of the cliff but this hasn't happened yet, so this description covers up to the first two pitches of a route that may be continued in the future (by the FAs or perhaps by you!). The route ends at a large ledge with several possibilities for the adventurous party to continue further. The 2nd pitch is as good as it looks if you're a fan of wide cracks!
The first pitch is easy but runout and guarded by a large prickly pear. Getting around this cactus and onto the ledge with sparse pro is the crux of the first pitch.
Descent: rap from bolted anchors at the top of each pitch (may need to replace aging webbing at both sets of anchors) or forge a way to the summit.
