Solo for Swallows

FA Bob Scarpelli and Bob Cowen, 1984

UPDATED 

Description

Solo for Swallows is a nice finger and hand crack just to the right of the classic

Medium Cool

. Start off an exposed ledge with some delicate moves, and then follow the finger/hand crack up to the next ledge. Once at the next ledge, plug in some gear, and crank up the upper finger crack to a 2 bolt anchor.

This has nice movement and positioning high above the little valley floor.

See the main page of Blair II for a photo of the climb.

Location

This is the crack line just to the right of

Medium Cool

and left of

A Thing of Beauty

. From the climber's left, scramble up to the same starting ledge as

Medium Cool

.

Protection

Fingers to hands. A #4 C4 is nice to have as an anchor. Take care with placing gear in the upper finger crack due to pods of poor rock.
