Description

The Lobster climbs the thin crack system between Leave it to Beaver and Clean and Jerk. Climb Leave it to Beaver up to the ledge, place a small cam (yellow Alien) in a pocket and traverse left to the start of The Lobster crack. The crux involves thin smearing that's protected by a hard to place micro nut. If the nut rips you'll take a large fall on a bomber medium sized nut lower down. The upper half of the climb is easy and well protected. You probably wouldn't deck on this climb with a good belay but it's still exciting none the less.

Location

Just left of Leave it to Beaver.

Protection

Finger to thin hand sized cams, medium nut (#7 hb offset) and a micro nut ( #2 bd micro nut)
