Headlamp Mechanics

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Find the twin cracks. Step Into the Squeezer starts in the hand crack on the left (5.8), then merges into the chimney on the right(5.9). Headlamp Mechanics finishes up a stellar finger crack up and left.  Climb the hand crack, and when it merges into the chimney, place a #5 cam high, sling it long, and step left (flat foot sized pedestal feature).   Small cams protect the bottom of the crack and a single steep move.  After that it's pure fun to the anchor. About the same difficulty and quality as Topless Twins.

Location

Same as Step into the Squeezer and Chinese Handcuffs.  The double cracks to a chimney is a dead giveaway. 

Protection

.1-5. Doubles .3-1. (No #4 needed)
