Description:
This beautiful splitter finger crack is just to the right of The Trough. Approach by going left from Lunch Rock. There is a little bush (2' tall) growing out of the crack 1/2 way up on Pitch 1. Start on a crack 10' left of where the finger crack would drop straight to the ground. Climb 100' to bolts with chains (may rap with 1 60m rope here). Then either continue on Dave's Deviation (5.8R section) or jog right 10' and follow the cracks up to the top, running into the end of The Trough. Or link to Piton Pooper and Upper Royal's Arch for great four+ pitch route.

P1 to Jam Crack to Piton Pooper. Nice way to start the day; crack has a bit of flair to it, so it's tougher than it looks from the ground.

Onsight ascent by:
Bush
right in the middle of the route. Committing well protected crux, not the straight in jams I was expecting had some Ric Flair to it. Grab your blue/green/yellow aliens and go for it.

excellent finger crack
a good quality finger crack past a small bush and on to a good ledge for the first pitch. then either rap or go on to a 5.8r. the space around the bush is the crux if you leave the greenery alone.

Small hands and fingers for a big guy
It would help to have small hands and fingers for this climb. Good 5.9. Super fun!
