If Ya Can't Beat Em...

...traverse around em! Tried to pull the crux on an 11b to the right of this crack and when I couldn't, I put my runout head on and traversed over to this weakness and finished the second half of the route in trad solo style, traversing back to the chains at the top of the original route. It was groundfall potential but I lived to breathe another day thanks to the "leader must not fall" mindset. Oh yeah, and the crack was easy!
