Description:
Two pitches, Lower and Upper. Lower Progressive is a popular left-leaning, left-facing flake with a tricky hop at the start, powerful wrist-lock jams thru the middle, and your choice of offwidth or crystal-pinching exit (9+). Walk off right, or continue up Upper Progressive (10a). Wierd yogic thrutching and an exit that looks wider than it is. Sometimes descent slings to the right, sometimes not. (The Kelman/Harper guidebook photo amusingly mislabels Lower Progressive as Handjacker (7+): many surprised climbers.)

Hard 9+, but it's Vedauwoo. Only did first pitch
I could not find my feet in this thing. I kept trying to stem or flag out left. I needed to keep them in the crack. The entry was the easiest part. OW at top wasn't bad once I found the crystals, however I fell out of the OW to rest. A #4 Camalot and possibly #5 would have helped at the top.

Now it feels less casual
Somehow, being warm made this route much harder.

Ascent Note
One of the first cracks I ever tried to climb. Getting onto it proves to be quite difficult. Good, small hand jams with non-existant face features for feet. A lot easier this time. Need to go back for the redpoint.
