Five feet right of Water Faucet. Thin crack. F.A. Jon Frank, Bill Ward, Jack Wurster (1986) (edit re. name: stappado’ or ‘stapado’ was a form of punishment or of torture to extort confession in which the victim's hands were tied across his back and secured to a pulley. He was then hoisted from the ground and let down half way with a jerk. (obsolete since late 17th century). We all know the local ethic is old-school, but this is a bit much! - leinosaur)

yea. seemed like a sandbag. I guess it was a fun route...i am still not sure. The hands down hand jams and difficult gear placement pumped me pretty hard on a fricken 30ft climb.
