Description

This route might not look that interesting from the ground, but I thought this was a pretty fun crack climb. It's easier than Sonja and definitely worth doing if you're looking for some change from the standard Gunks fare or practice with jamming. It is mostly a #1/#2 crack with a short wide section in the middle. It is interesting (and possible) to navigate the wide section without using any offwidth technique.

Location

Right side of Mental Block, fourth crack from the left. When facing Nosedive/Retribution, Mental Block is directly behind you.

Protection

Tape! Cams #1-#4 or just TR it. Use a nut tool to clear out any spiders.
