Description:

Short roof crack down on the bottom right side of the Harlequin Dome. Start in a dihedral and make a wild move out right to a good ledge with a pin. Clip the pin and make an even wilder, awkward step out left into a tight flareing hand crack. Powerfill hands and fingers lead over the short bulge and up a hand crack to the top.

Descent Options:

Rap off the trees to the left, build an anchor for TR or walk off to the left or right.

3 out of 5 stars Powerfill

Tricky move to the ledge, even trickier balancing act to make the step back out left and into the crack. I thought this route was every bit of .10d. Good pro...
