Diversity in Microcosm

Description

A splitter hand crack leads to a left arching wide pod chimney. Traverse left and lower from shuts on 'Bout Time. You can continue to the top (5.6R I think), but the best part is the obvious first 40 Ft.

Variation: Climb the clean dihedral that is overhanging, move into a flared alcove (look inside for gear). Hand-traverse the scary look rock to a big comfy ledge, place pro, continue up the left facing dihedral to another off-hands crack above.

Most people skip the R rated version, and do the variation.

Location

Start about 30 Ft. left of the Exoduster area.

Protection

Hand size gear, a few smaller pieces. Large gear may be placed in the pod but is not necessary.

Bring the biggest gear you have if you do the R rated version.
