My friend led it with a few small and mid-size cams and one larger cam (probably a 4).

Description:
Fun, short splitter with a mix of crack techniques and a few face holds thrown in. The crack starts off-width and then in the mid-section it narrows to a good width for hand jams. Crux happens when the crack narrows down to finger jams and then no jams. Top out with a few strong but juggy moves. Location is Spider Wall. Crag is closed - land owned by New Britain Water Department.Descent Options:
Short walk-off or lower.

Nice crack.
Lots of fun. I flailed on the first attempt. Sent it on the third. Nice variety of techniques for such a short route.
