The obvious line that splits the crag and finish's in a long dihedral. It's a great climb, but since it has a dirty start, the grade drops. There is a little bit of everything with this route, fingers, to some easy OW, to a fun corner crux finish. We found signs of life on this pitch, a mangy old bolt (not needed) below the final corner.

The Great Divide

The Guillotine

Red Mamba

Afro Blue

Start in a thin splitter, which soon peters out into some unique climbing past fixed kb's. A slabby traverse brings to the final crack that saves the hardest moves for last. Save a couple of your smallest cams for these last moves.

Another classic!

Two cracks of similar difficulty, the crux comes right off the ground. The left side variation is a little spicy and has a "death block" en route. I ripped callous's trying to remove this sucker, it moves, but won't come loose. The right side is well protected fun climbing with a OW traverse.

A 5.7 pitch leads to the top. You can either walk off or rap the tree to the anchors atop Red Mamba/Afro Blue.

At the undercling, you may feel there is no hope for gear, reach out right and place a perfect #7 BD Nut. Continue up, hopping cracks and a couple slab moves past a bolt to yet another crack. Bear huggin' and stemming will bring you to a thin slightly overhung bolt protected face, with a mantle finish. Spicy.

Alternatively, you could join Afro Blue by traversing right at the upper crack, though the actual finish is *****.
