Description:

Same start as Block Buster, but go up the fist crack to the left instead of the short exit to the right. Bring gear for the anchor on top. Anything from .75" to 4" will work. No bolted anchor.

Descent Options:

Rap from tree or walk off. A 60m rope will not reach the ground when rapping from the tree. You have to downclimb 5.0 to the ground, so make sure you tie a knot in the end of your rope.

i'm not too much of a crack climber, but the bottom went with no problem, the top crack required some creative wrist-elbow jaming, my partner just used fist jams

Onsight Onsight ascent by: salamanizer on 2007-07-22 (View Climbing Log)

5 out of 5 stars Cooler than I thought.

Funky moves down low, but well protected the whole way. A #4 cam could be used but not necessary. Definately two #3's for the fist crack up high. I just placed one down low and slid the other along for a bit. It's not that long of a fist crack. Needs a bolted anchor. 5.10b tops, kinda Valley like.
