Description

Start behind the boulder and make a few chimney moves up the chunky face. Pass a horizontal crack and then continue climbing right of the crumbly looking flake (it’s better than it looks) and through discontinuous tiny cracks to a tuft of grass with a handcrack above. unfortunately the hand crack sees you topping out.  No indian creek splitters here.

Note: originally rated 5.6 

Location

Located on the climber’s left corner of the crag (NE face). Start on the left side of the large boulder. 

Protection

Single set of gear from BD .2 - #3. Small stoppers are key to protecting the small cracks above the crunchy flake. Bolted anchor on top.
