Gear to 3" with multiple finger sized pieces for the finishing crack. *Note - the upper crack is very inwardly flaring making solid cam placements difficult. Nuts are a better option for many placements.

A lesson in flaring gear placements.
Did this first thing in the morning last weekend and got quite the warm up. Pretty scary thin gear off the top of the "Blue Moon" pillar followed by inwardly flaring cam placements the whole way up. Stoppers were harder to place but much more solid than cams.
