Description:
This is the large crack just to the left of "Better Balance" on the north side of the Pinnacle (opposite Strawberry Jam). Climb the crack up to the little roof and traverse left around the roof, then up to the lip where it turns 4th class for 10 feet to two bolts at the top. Bring long webbing to run from the bolts to the lip if you plan to TR - or anchor off the bolts and pad the edge with something.

nice.
got spooked by the loose block before the 4th class stuff= pg-13 rating. ( i personally thought it felt more like low 5th, but i was pretty freaked at the time; didn't want to place gearin the loose block.) I think that carefully laybacking the loose block is ok, placing gear in it would be a bad idea though.

An easy crack with a nice shady belay station. Lynn-wife made it 3/4 of the way... next time she'll send it!
