Very enjoyable chimneying with one notable crux where it squeezes down. If your fingers need a rest from all the laser cracks on this boulder, this just might be the body jam you're lookin for.

The difficulty of the climb is governed by your upper body size. As for myself, I was forced to ooze down, remove my favorite flannel, and "sidewinder" up through it -- that is, by kicking the left leg in, and dropping an underhanded armbar on the edge of the crack. This allows one to rotate their chest further out as needed to push past the squeeze.

Hard crux start leads to an incredible finger crack that might just test your endurance.

Traverse out right on a big slopey ledge as the ground falls away from the Boulder then work your way into a low angle finger crack.

Left leaning finger crack on a low angle slab. This thing is fantastic.

Crack climb?  Not really.  Even though this line starts with two excellent finger locks and bad feet, ultimately you're bouldering through shouldery moves and sparse feet on a steep and slightly overhanging face to the top where you get a last finger lock. That lock stifles the fear of falling on the blocks below.  Keep it together until you're standing on your feet.

Spectacular and rare crack climb that has a bit of a boulder problem to start then leads to very cool sequences and unexpected finger locks in excellent rock.
