Description

Begin between two large detached flakes on the ground, move up through easy terrain to a band of crumbly rock. From here, work your feet up to reach the thin, vertical crack. This crack ends after 4 feet or so when you step right on thin holds (crux) to another thin crack. Follow this crack through the notch at the top directly above the start.

Location

This route is on the top section of rock above the other routes at Prestige. Climb any of the routes that get you to the anchor bolts for

, and look up the hill, it's the line done the middle on the next face (50 feet away?). Watch for cacti on the approach. Rap down

Protection

This route sews up nicely. It can be done on all passive as the thin cracks are ideal for nut placements, small cams add more options. You can bring a couple larger pieces (maybe #3 C4) depending on how much you want to protect the lower part before the crux. Bring plenty of cord or webbing for slinging boulders as an anchor. Scramble down to the right.
