Description:
One of Mt. Woodson's test-pieces, this overhanging fingercrack sets the stage for the crack enthusiast! Witnessing this gem and/or hearing of the back-in-the-day rumors of the late John Bachar's on-sight solo continues to lure even the beginner, if only, to get a glimpse of the area's history. Those without a firm foundation in crack technique will have a tendency to overrate this climb. The first 15 feet holds the crux with the last finishing in a steep dihedral.Descent Options:

I finally got this one! Felt strong and after a few tries it went down. I think this thing is harder than Aids Victim one one boulder over.
