Description:
A short but fun exercise in fist jamming. Easier for big hands via big cupped hands, or with heavy taping.Descent Options:
Downclimb to climber's right, down low-angled slab to a crack that circles clockwise and down passing a tree before reaching the ground. Have a good look at this beforehand. Also possible to scramble over top to rap anchors atop east face.

Not very tall, sustained nor overly interesting...a good solo jaunt. Pinched Rib to the right is a much better short pitch. Climb down to the right. With Stacy.

Ouch!
I was the second for this climb and it really tore my hands up. I should probably use tape next time...

Some nice jams
Did it with BD #8 hex and #2 C4, no big gear. Some nice jams but still a bit of workout ow.
