Description:
Start at a wide crack uphill from Handy Andy. Climb the crack to a tree belay. Upper pitches exist but arent recommended. This is an old school climb which is much harder then the grade given.

Ascent Note
My partner led the thing as it was going from dusk to darkness. I started up in the dark. At least I had a headlamp.... I hadn't wanted to climb the thing, because I felt I was being rushed to get "one last pitch" in for the day, and didn't feel that was cool. A friend nearby offered to act as a cheater rock for me on the crux, and that gave me the motivation I needed. "I don't cheat." was my reply. After a quick review of the problem, I had the idea. I cammed that toe, hooked the upper corner with my left hand, pasted my right hand and foot, and in a sort of modified 4-point Gaston, off I went. "Oh my. You're strong!" says the motivational force. "You made that look absolutely pretty." I am glad I got the climb in, after all. We rapped off in the dark.
