Description:
Right-slanting handcrack on left side of the formation. The old book says 5.7, but that's the ULTIMATE sandbag! Now upgraded to 5.9+ in new book. Mininal gear at the bottom, but easy enough to compensate.Descent Options:
Walk-off to climber's left or right (easier).

5.7?
Sandbagged at 5.7, measly pro down low, and not all that interesting, but if you're there.......

def. not a 5.7
Protection was easy enough at the top, but it's far too sustained to be a 5.7!
