Description:
(from the Falcon Guide) * This climb may elicit more cursing per linear foot than any other route in this guide. The "Bluebells" corner is paired with a wide crack/corner on the north edge of The Amphitheater. It is harder down low; prepare for a big swing if you fall out.

Hard one but a must do.
It is really hard to get off the ground on this one. My Fiancée fell about 10 feet up here and with the rope stretch hit her ass on the ground. Be careful with that first section even on top rope.

Take what you know about crack climbing and throw it out the window. This wide, varying width crack is interesting to climb. Be ready to do some full body jambs!

Compare with the other routes I've climbed in North Shore, this definitely the hardest one.
