Description:
Thin crack on the lower north wall. Three variations, from left to right; 5.9 variation, most people lead this pitch and set top ropes for the cracks to the right...5.10c variation, perfect hand jams to a good rest before the short and well protectable crux. 5.11a variation. Start in the thin crack and make a balancy move right to some strenuous jamming. Eases up in the middle to more thin fingers, crimps and sloapers to the chains. The second pitch is rarely lead. It follows a 5.9 crack to an 5.11b lieback roof, then up a 5.9 offwidth crack to another thin and reachy 5.11c roof.

10c variation
Last route of the day and I was pretty tired; when I got to the crux at the top of p1, I started pumping out so I stemmed over to rest. This version I pulled off was probably more like 10a. Will re-lead this section "pure" again some time later for the rp. Even without stemming, this line seemed more like 10b than 10c.
