Five Fang Overhang

FA Carl Harrison, solo, 1980
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Just uphill of the

Positively Fourth Street

area and before the saddle lies this short, steep, juggy, and lichenous wall. Five Fang Overhang takes a direct line up the center of this wall using positive but fragile holds. Gear is available at 2/3rd's height, but don't expect anything for the crux. Traverse right to a tree with slings or downclimb.

Location

Approximately 150' above the

Positively Fourth Street

area, this short wall will be on your right (looking West) just before the saddle.

Protection

Finger-size cam and small nut for the horizontal, slings for the trees above. Glasses can be useful for keeping the lichen out of your eyes.
