Description

This awesome pitch follows the obvious hanging crack system, located 20' climbers' left of

Lunch Box Special

. Begin with a short face section (25'), and use an incipient crack (1"-3" gear) and single bolt for protection (5.10+). Gain small ledge below

crack, and climb this crack through small, left-facing roof/corner for 25' (5.10-). Traverse left at the second protection bolt and enter the Superette crack (5.10-). Follow this radness for 60', and look for locker fingers (3/4"-1" gear, 5.11) with an easing hand section above (2"-3" gear, 5.9/.10-).

The upper finger crack protects mainly with 1" Friends, red Aliens or 0.5 Camalots. Despite this bigger finger size, the crack is locker fingers because of how it's offset or tilted and a few good rests make it easier 5.11. This is a MUST DO!

Location

This route and several others are located directly above the access trail. It is located 25 feet left of the beginning of
