Description:
A fun climb with two very different cruxes. The left-most climb on the face. The start has burly 5.9 hands jams, while the crux is at the top--take the steep left-leaning thin crack instead of following the main crack (which gets chossy). Walk off.

Ascent Note
whew! fun lead, listed in guidebook as "9+", must have missed that "take thin crack to the left" as I just went with the choss - actually didn't notice it gettin' too chossy, but I was training atop Elk Mountain before this trip so a touch of choss don't scare me, nohow! I thought crux was maybe 2/3 of way up crack where it gets good & wide with just big hairy crystals to jam behind . . . thank goodness for the tape!
