Description

Climb up and right on ledges past a dead tree stump until you reach the base of a finger / tight hands crack. Pull through the crux, and establish yourself in the crack. Follow the seam through a hard to read section with tenuous gear and big (but clean) fall potential if that gear fails. Climb an enjoyable hand crack for another 50 feet to the anchor.

This is an impressive route for the area with a burly physical crux and a committing mental crux. Be ready.

Location

It is between "

Yes, I am a Pirate

" & "

Plummer's Crack

. Identify the two cracks shooting up from the dead tree stump in the wall ~15 feet off the ground. This route ascends the right crack.

Protection

A double rack to a #2, nuts, a couple extra micro pieces; offset RPs work well; 12 or so draws/runners, and a 2 bolt anchor.
