Description:
On far right side of E-Rock, crack in dihedral. The crack is solid and takes good pro. The challenge may be moving out of the crack and traversing left and down along dike to another crack to finish the route. One of Echo Cove's best. Seek it!Descent Options:
Free-solo or stay on belay to go up and right and then down to bolted rap anchor atop British Airways.

First time climbing this, will definitely be back
to improve and try to red point. Knowing where
to stay in the crack and where to stem out and
lyback would have helped my flailing. Calves
were hurting by the end of this lead. Great pro
and nice line. Traverse was fun, but a bolt would
have been nice. ;)

Not 5.10... Just take your time and watch your feet. It's all there. The traverse is fun though!

The Pope
is holier than thou! Or at least as holy as Bishop's Terrace. Fun climbing that should not be missed, warm on cold days due to aspect. The Direct Finish is tricky for shorter folks.

Fun and strange
Very fun crack. It gets interesting near the top. Rope handiwork is mandatory.
