Description

Pronounced "Harrthh"...

Two great pitches would be classic if for better rock.

P1. Squeeze up the flake and jam the wide slot to the bulge where you can get sliver down to gold Camalot size pro and jams. Now it gets kind of exciting (spooky). The crack is actually part of a detached slab with some loose/vibrating (ohhh) flakes. At a point that is hard to describe, place gear high with a sling and bust out a cool face move up and right to join the upper crack. Its kind of a blocky flake/crack that actually takes good gear where you need it. Continue to lieback and jam as it steepens and culminates with a reach to a jug (11a PG-13). Next bit is a must do!! An awesome yellow Alien size wavy splitter (with feet) goes up (crux) to a ledge and a bolted anchor.

P2. Head up to a roof/slot type thingie and jam it to a jug...Cool picture of Bachar solo here, in some old mag...Get up into the sharp corner with the widening crack. Blue Camalot to C4 #4 Camalot size jams follows and using your honed, typical Valley fist/OW corner technique will get you up to a sloping ledge and an ant-infested tree with rap slings.

Location

Left of Crack-A-Go-Go.

Protection

Nuts. Double set cams from green Alien to C4 #4 Camalot sizes. 70M rope will work to rap off...Watch your ends.
