Description:

Thinnest of vertical cracks, to the right on face, and hardest with thinnest face holds too. You do get an easier top part.

4 out of 5 stars First attempt.

Fun route. Tricky to get started at first. First two or three movies are not too bad but it gets very difficult about 20 feet up or so. I cheated and jumped to the 5.8 to the left of it at this point. It was almost like climbing a crack.

4 out of 5 stars The baby for a reason.

Thin crack and a great climb. Sent it first try with no falls.

5 out of 5 stars Killed It!

I've got this one down, I think! The crux is the move from the tiny finger pockets to the nice ledge just out of reach. Slow, steady, and controlled move to that ledge or else you pull yourself off the rock

5 out of 5 stars Finally Did it Clean!

This is a bomb ass route! I wish it were longer! This was the first ascent I've had hang-dog free!
