4 out of 5 stars Awesome Crack

So I climbed off to the right a bit on this route. Just to the right of the arete. Theres a big crack along the arete that I climbed that was awesome! This crack was a pretty hard climb and definitely needed a clean but was still great. The first part was easy but then there was a tricky overhang section in the middle of the crack, I spent the most time there. Awesome climb.
