Description

A classic line that despite being an eliminate still maintains a very respected status. Definitely worth climbing. Stand start on a mediocre left pinch and a good right crimp. Make your way up to get your right hand on the hidden hold that made this climb a Chandler classic, a perfect but brutal mono-crimp in the middle of the blank face. Once locked down skip a tempting left hand shallow sidepull pocket, instead using the remaining holds small holds above to gain the horizontal jug. Using the sidepull pocket is Crabs (V5) or a variation of Crabs.

Location

Just 5 feet left of the arete with Sam and the Dial Tones. Goes straight up the blank face.

Protection

Crashpad / spotter
