4 out of 5 stars Led

Jam the big crack. Runners tend to get in the way. The last few feet of this crack are steeper than they look. Walk up the ledges to pitch 2 in a shallow corner. Bridge, jam or layback this to a poor landing. Belay on the fence needs a lot of rope. Easy for its grade if you like jamming, desparate if you don't.
