Second only to Astroman. Hands down one of the best crack climbs on the western coast!

Cruiser climbing on nice, well protected cracks.

Swapped leads with Mark. All I can say is wow, this is a fantastic climb.

Twisted ankles but fun

Easier than serenity, but way more natural. No pin scars. Very nice. Must do continuation of Serenity Crack

Did this in four pitches, having to run it out a bit on the long handcrack. I didn't bring a #4 camalot for the last pitch and was really wishing that I had!

The 10a pitch depending on the size of your hands (mine are kinda fat) can be tricky. If lots of pro makes you feel good you may want to add an extra .75 and #1 C4 (on top of the recommended super topo rack) for this climb. Although I felt safe enough without them. 3rd pitch is really secure hand jamming in the right facing corner, easy exit out of the corner and then up to the belay. 4th pitch is excellent and exposed hand jamming, very secure and well protected. 5th pitch fun and engaging with the thin hand jam traverse into the wide crack to the top, excellent exposure!

Tom led p1 (link pitch), 4 and 5. Me: 2-3. P3 corner is not 5.9 jamming for us gals--more like super easy 8ish. Great route, great link-up with Serenity, perfect weather, great day. Sooo glad Tom suggested we do this.
