Interesting moves, but the initial hand-holds on the crack are a bit slippery.

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.

Crack about 20 feet left from right (S) end of sector wall.

About four feet right from a wide alcove, and about four feet left from crack more than one foot wide at bottom.

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-Ascensionists felt that it should protect reasonably with a standard Trad rack.

Top-Rope: Various rock holes or horns available for top anchor.
