Description:
A popular route. One of the ten super classics. Commence up the shallow left facing corner (crux) 30 ft/right of Classic Crack. Climb up until it eases then turn an odd corner right to an anchor. Belay. Move right to a semi-detached block (maple tree) then climb straight up the hand crack (5.9+) until possible to exit right on good holds to a ledge. Rappel with 2 ropes from bolt anchor.

Whipper day!
Took a good 20 ft. lead fall onto a yellow C3 from the slopey little traverse at the top of p1. Woke me up for sure.

Good route, found it very difficult, especially the upper crux.

I found the crux hard to protect: a thin layback with some difficulty trying to see your gear as you place it. And with groundfall potential if any piece were to fail. Be careful! The 2nd pitch crux involves steep hand jams right before the anchors - good stuff! Can rap from the top with a 60m rope.
