Description
Interesting route if you want to practice off-width and squeeze chimney - (if only it were longer).
Just go up the crack.
Descent: Either bring slings/cord + rings to construct a rappel anchor (at least one nice rock horn or hole above top of Affordable Care.
Or scramble off to the south (4th class exposed) -- see intructions for Top-Rope access on
sector 8 description page
.
warning
: The rock in this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
Location
Wide crack (more than a foot wide at bottom) about 16 feet left from right (S) end of sector wall.
Just right of a narrower crack which is just right of a wide alcove.

Protection
No fixed hardware for top anchor or for leading as of 2016.
Leading: Protection for Trad leading is unconfirmed so far, but the Top-Rope First-Ascensionist felt that it should protect reasonably with a standard Trad rack, augmented perhaps larger stuff for the lower crack.
Top-Rope: Various rock holes or horns available for top anchor.
