Description

Similar to it's neighbor to the left, it's a low angle left leaning splitter.  Would be classic (and better than it's neighbor) if there were no thorn bushes at the start which makes it harder to climb and also protect.  Easy to TR after climbing Air Bare.

The climbing starts on the ledge about 50' up but it's easier for the belayer to belay on the ground.  You need two ropes to get to the ground.  A 70 works if you're belaying and climbing from the ledge.

The anchor is shared with Air Bare- two bad bolts and a nut.  The Reid book shows it ending a few feet higher on a 'rappel horn' but this looks like a death flake.

Location

The right crack.

Protection

Standard to 2.5"
