Description:
Where the north-western valley, bordering Dry Valley, opens up at the northern corner of the DV main boulder field, there is a clean splitter hand crack that starts off a ledge about 12 meters above the ground. To reach the crack, either traverse out along the ledge from the left, or aid up the crack below the ledge. Hard bouldery moves start the route through the bulge off the ledge, then sustained small hand and toe jams lead to the top. Solid jams and great pro!

Ascent Note
had to hangdog the start. lesson learned, dont fill the crack in the bulge with gear for the belay anchor! Otherwise, mega classic in my book. If it were much longer, I would have to invest in some more 0.5 size cams.
