Description
This steep crack, to the immediate right of
Butterfly McQueens' Birthday
provides a long crack with several short crux sections between good to decent rests. Although it is flared, it has enough non-flared placements to protect it well with nuts and fingers to hand-sized cams. One bouldery move leads to a good ledge where the fun begins, go up the crack using jams and face holds and cobbles. The crux comes 3/4 of the way up and involves pulling over a roof using face holds while reaching for jams above. This is one of the better trad lines I've been on at Castlewood--steep climbing up a continuous crack that offers good pro.
Note: The line I marked Jamuary in the beta photo is really
Butterfly McQueens' Birthday
, Jamuary is the obvious, marked crack below and right of the Jamuary label in the pic.
Protection
Standard rack up to #2 Friend. Offsets could help but are not necessary. Bring a really long sling or extra rope to anchor this climb. You might be able to anchor off
The Revolution's
cold shuts, but these are not accesible from the top.
