Description
Starts wide and stays that way most of the way. Slither up into it, finding hands and fists where you can, along with face holds that present themselves. Stemming and foot jamming will help you along. Arrive at a pedestal about 30' up and continue your upward journey at the back of it. Still wide now, but more chimney technique and stemming. Several cracks intersect higher up, allowing for more grabby holds, and then pull a bulgy hand crack section to a stance at a bolt. Finish up a loose, dirty slot to a solid chain-and-rings anchor at the top of the cliff.
Location
From the top of the main trail, identify a tall block below a hand crack (this is Murky Waters), follow two bolt lines over (these are Zeno's Paradox and Persistence is Futile), and you will see a wide crack going up to a ledge and then continuing up the back of it to the top of the cliff... this is the one!
Protection
Lots of wide, probably a couple 5" and a 6", with some smaller stuff down to 2"
