5 out of 5 stars Quality Northshore Climbing!

Great thin finger crack! Starts with some face moves following a seam up. The seam goes into a very minor corner and open up for some very thin fingers and a piton scar jam. As it moves past the minor corner the route finds some jugs until it reaches a significant horizontal crack. Traversing along the horizontal crack to the left you'll encounter a seam/ thin finger tip crack...this is the crux...two moves and you're at the top! Great little climb to keep you thinking! You need some balls to lead it... protection is pretty minimal.

4 out of 5 stars Quality

Quality climb...great crack work. Starts with a high angle open book with a crack in the corner that starts at hands and narrows to fingers. The open book pulls a roof with a wide and deep crack that narrows as it goes up. It then climbs some easy slab until reaching a good flake and crack that leads to a large ledge. From this ledge it then heads up a beautiful standard hand crack to the top. Pretty long climb in all, to slingshot it, it was nice to have a 70m rope...but do-able with a 60...a little scrambling up to tie in.

4 out of 5 stars Careful with the first pitch

Don't attempt the first pitch unless you 1.) intend to run out 20-30 ft of an off-width or 2.) have some big off-width gear (big bros, huge cams). Otherwise the second pitch is a great ledgy and exposed lead.

4 out of 5 stars Great climb

This is a great climb...crux is a bit of finger crack action...but really the top doing a bit of overhanging jams with some smearing was worse to me. This climb is much easier than phantom crack due to the amount of face holds for your feet.

5 out of 5 stars Beauteous Hand Crack

Great crack to get your jamming down...pretty short though. First part of route is ledgy 5.6 and the actual hand 5.9 crack is about the last 15 ft. Enjoy it!

4 out of 5 stars Great crack

A little awkward right off the deck, but then widens for good hands. Takes bigger gear...
