Difficulty: 5.7, 75 ft.

Protection: G

Description: One of the best moderate crack climbs anywhere. Start about 10 ft. right of THE MONKEY on a right slanting finger crack. Climb up to the top of a large flake (good stance) and follow the hand/finger crack until it eventually angles right to anchors.

It is also possible to climb straight up to anchors instead of angling 
right at the top. The original line climbed face to the right of the upper sections of the crack, as the crack was too wide for the pitons of the day.

First Ascent: Arni Kirbach Sr. and Carl Acker 1946. Arni Kirbach wore hob nail boots. Apparently quite a crowd gathered at the Inn on Rte. 4 to watch the spectacle. They got their money's worth as Arni took a ten footer onto his piton and then, after gathering his wits, continued on to the trees with cheers and car horns tooting from below.
