Description:
Get to Baseline Ledge as for St. Vitus Dance. Head left at Baseline Ledge to get to a small platform with bolted ancohors. p1: Follow the double crackline up, then traverse to the left to a new crackline when it appears. Belay at the base of the new crack in a small scoop. 5.6 p2: Follow the new crack up and over a bulge. Belay where comfortable. 5.8 p3: Up the crack then a bit of rightwards traversing on slabs and broken features. A two bolt anchor is here, but could easily be missed. Many good spots for a trad achor are available. 5.7 Scamble up to Broadway ledge, but you'll probably still want to be roped up for this pitch. 4th-low 5th. Up to Broadway Ledge, then down the walk off to the South. Some sketchy bits here, that some people will wan to rope up for.

Great crack climb
Deserves much higher rating than the 3/5 stars given in the book. First two pitches are not really that bad but of coz they are not classic.
