Description:
Start a few feet right of the belay station of Calypso. Follow a finger crack up to a large ledge with a boulder resting on it. Try not to look like a beached whale while fitting into the crack made by the resting boulder. Finish by scrambling right to a set of rappel bolts or climb to the belay ledge of Calypso and climb pitch three of Calypso

Great Rock!
There are some awesome cracks on this route. The majority of the route is fairly mindless and simple. The top 20 feet require some commiting moves and a little gusto, plus you're pretty exposed on the last crack. As the description says, you will look like a beached whale trying to pull yourself through the crack, so traverse to the right and fling yourself up.
