Description

Nice wide splitter with features galore to the left and right on face. Good pro and some nice moves make this an enjoyable climb, not to mention the sweet little summit it achieves! The first ascent saw a lot of choss and big loose rocks. They are mostly gone, but there is still choss to be had. The ending has some unlikely chimney moves that I give 3 stars alone! 

Location

Head to LEW, once in the scree chute below the walls look up into a gully to a tree between The bolted line with tat on the anchors and the bolted stand alone formation on the left. Head to the tree and climb will be on the side of the little spire with the tat on it. 

Protection

Gear .2 - 6, I found bomber small cams and micro cams off to the sides of the crack. I protected the starting moves with a .3 and a black totem in a horizontal, or you can use a 3 in the crack that you jam!
