Description:
The obvious long crack on the right aspect of upper Walt's Rock. Strenuous, bulging start leads to cruxy section getting into a pod. Wiggling and squirming for a bit leads to great jamming the rest of the way. Would be one of Jtree's finest cracks were it not for a bit of looseness and choss. Needs to see more traffic.

Worst rock in QM
Though the look of this crack is impressive, I don't know that any amount of traffic will clean it up. There are a couple of rotten pods, some dirt down low, and intermittent guano. The scenery, however, is great. Save a #3 for the top.
