Description
It is steep but with edges. The crack is seldom used for hands, but often for gear. The rock quality is superior and the crack takes cams or stoppers well. Some thoughtful movement half way up gives the line its crux and some added thrills.
If not yet comfortable with trad climbing, do the sport route to the left (Prism of Shadows), which leads to the same anchor and gives you a top rope on the trad line.
Climb into an esoteric realm where bottomless voids lead to a higher existence.
The abyss may swallow all belongings.
Location
Park in the saw dust/cairned lot. Then walk 5 minutes to the edge where the trail splits. Go right towards Dinka tower and follow fixed lines through the talus and passed Juba and the Lion to the end of the rope. Here you will be in the right facing dihedral with something of a platform to stage from.
Protection
Micro cams and stoppers to size medium. See picture below. All the fun moves lead to a two bolt chain anchor with a quick link shared with the climb to the left.
