Description
Step up and right from the ledge into a shallow flaring hand crack with ample positive face holds. Pro is kinda tricky down low, but it’s all there.
When the crack peters out, step right on chickenheads to a slabby ramp with a bolt,
below a squeeze chimney. S
tep up and into the 15’ fingers-to-hands crack on the left side the chimney, then make a few of moves up, before gaining some jugs and the chains.
5.8 for a few funky moves plus the crux getting up into the crack, otherwise it would go at 5.7.
The ending crack protects extremely well.
Location
Starts about 6’ to the right of Shrimp Salad. Look for the obvious scrub line moving up and then right. Although you can see the chains from the ground, the lone bolt is kinda hard to spot.
Protection
Single rack to BD #3 + nuts, and maybe a second 0.4. One bolt on route besides two-bolt anchor (stainless everything, bolted 10/17/20).
