Description:
Hailed as one of the best routes in tuolumne. VERY HARD for the rating and awkward. The "arch" pitch climbs a dihedral that slowly curves it's way to horizontal. Thin lieback, thin feet, and thin gear. Stimulating!

Super route!
Whether this route is 5.9 or 5.10, it's hard! The supposed 5.10 crux was actually a welcome relief from the sustained hard 5.9 climbing. It was a great route, and doesn't get nearly the traffic that West crack does.

Tuolumne Classic
P2 is the crux, not P4. Solid belays for every pitch, huge ledge at the top of P3. Possible to bail off the route at first 3 belay stations. Bring plenty of slings.

Hard for the grade
Mega enduro route -- that is the crux!
Bring a selection of micro-cams and you will be glad you did.
