Description

This is one of the classic crack boulder problems in the Valley. Approximately 20' tall with a short approach, flat landing, and easy walk off, this slightly leaning splitter finger crack is great for honing your thin fingercrack technique. Mostly first knuckle locks. Usually bouldered, but you could rig a TR if desired.

"Climb the beautiful splitter finger crack that angles up and left.

First 5 feet are the hardest by far." - ??

Location

Find red Fire Hydrant #108, near to wooden cabin #20A in Half Dome Village. It's near a large rectangular-prism boulder about 8 feet high. From here, head up the hill and slightly right in order to find the hiking trail. It begins as a wide dirt path, then narrows and eventually becomes stone-lined farther on. The boulder sits near the base of the mountain wall, about a 10 minute hike up.
