Description:

The crack running up the left edge of the cave. Jam the crack through a small roof, then up the dihedral to easier but loose climbing. Finish straight up over the bush or to the ledge on the right for a good belay spot. Keep an eye out for the "sword in the stone", an old piton just above the dihedral. For a better, more consistant route, at the top of the dihedral (just below the bush) traverse right to Uncompramising Vulture, and follow that to the top.

4 out of 5 stars yay

Finally stuck the crux, and even felt really good through the exit of Uncompromising Vulture. Still think Rock Delux sandbagged it at 16......
