Description:

The large inset arching crack on the front face of the "pillar". Pretty obvious line, though when toproping its easier to follow the right side of the crack to the chicken head...try a layback to the chickenhead then a mantle on the chickenhead to avoid the two crimpy fingers on the left to bomber holds to rest of the way. When leading this climb get two pieces low. The crux of the climb has no protection! Nice climb and cool in the heat.
