Description

This route is the very obvious, low angle hand to mild off-width crack located on the left side of the crag. It is located just right of the large right facing dihedral and the line heads straight for the balanced rock at the summit.

Traverse up and right across easy gound to the start of the crack. Not much to say after this... climb the crack that is hands for most of it with a couple moves of tricky, but mild off-width (protects [easily] with #3.5 Camalot). When you hit the steep headwall going up to the true summit, traverse/walk right and belay near the walk off. Walk off to the east.

[There is a direct, brief, 5.7 finish that easily connects with the standard walkoff.]

If there were additional pitches to this, or if the walk off didn't suck so badly, I would've given it 3 stars.

Protection

Standard rack - double up on hand-sized cams if you are comfortable at the grade.
