Description:
One of the first routes done at Quartz and very classic. Not a great beginner route as gear can be tricky in spots (especially the first 15 feet). Obvious vertical crack system to the right of the large overhang in the middle of the face. Gear is tricky at the start and in the middle of the first pitch. Two pitches - First Pitch is about 100 feet. Begins with a flaring seam (either start at the bottom in a pit or start about 10 feet up using ledge system) that becomes a flaring polished crack as you climb higher. Belay at the base of a steep right facing dihedral. Second pitch heads straight up the dihedral for about 60 feet. U F.A. Hollingsworth, Lowell (1973)

Lead it again. Could become a favourite! Beautiful stright line route with gear where ever you need it, and cruxes straight off belays.

Alt led with Elie
A nice route with good jams and brilliant gear when ever you need it. I led first pitch and Elie led the second.

Loads of fun
I really liked this route. These two pitches where our 4th and 5th of the day and I was pretty worn out after them since we didn't bring water with us. The moves where great though.
