Description:
Striking crack line to right of Rostrum ledge. Starts out as wide fingers/thinhands with tricky feat. You are then rewarded with 30 feet of dreamy hands. One is then rudely awakened by 8 feet of some of the hardest "5.10" OW in the Valley. Get through this and cruise through an easier wide section then good holds to the 2 bolt anchor. Very physical!

Hot
Did this thing when it was like 95 degreese in the shade. Should have waited for cooler temps to attempt the onsight. Greased a bit on the first few moves but got them without falling. Cruised to the offwidth (note to self, 2 #2's and 3's would be nice) but didn't have gear for the offwidth. Way to hot to give a shit about the onsight so lowered, grabbed a #5 and climbed the route again with no problems. The overhanging part at the top was fun. Second pitch looked interesting, wonder why that dosn't get climbed???

Ascent Note
Cruised the "crux" at bottom only to be rejected by the overhanging "5.10" OW. Can't wait to try again. Did this route in a rainstorm and it was dry except for a few easy moves at top.
