One of the coolest cracks I've climbed. I fell at the crux last summer and decided to save it for cooler (less slippery) weather. Soo much fun!

I always admired this line when I walked by. Not feeling up for the lead but not sure if I would return to sam's I put it on TR and found out that it was much easier than expected! I hoped for fun jam's after the roof but it's too big for my hands so it was just a chicken head pull to the top.

Followed an excellent lead by mrhungus. Excellent fist jams available. If your technique stinks you can lieback or use a few face holds. Fun route, some exposure, solid for the grade.
