Description

This climb is one of the rare splitters on Mt. Lemmon. It is on the rock just downhill from The Reuben Hair Shift. The crack is unmistakable.

Start just below the crack and pull over a bulge (the crux) with pro above you. Jam the sweet hand crack, protecting as you feel the need, until you hit the wide section about 15-20 feet from the top. Run it out from here on easy ground to a two bolt belay.

This route is mostly casual once you pull the steep move at the bottom, but you'll want solid jamming skills in a couple of places.

This route, as well as a few other moderate cracks on this face are fun to do if you're in the area.

Location

Rap the route. It might also be better to bring your second up from the top on this route.

Protection

Standard rack to #4 Camalot.
