Description

You find out where the "stem" in Stem Christie comes from at the final (crux) moves. This thing is interesting and fun.

Location

On the [West] (per

Sarah Meiser

) side of Scull Rock, about midway up the formation, you see a bulge with a short, wide splitter running on its right (

Clean and Jerk

), with a detached looking bulge to the right of that. To the right of the widecrack/chimney, you see the inside double cracks that make up Stem Christie.

Protection

A standard short rack. A #4 and/or #3 BD protects the crux. Scramble up and around to the anchors for

Scull

. A 60m rope reaches the ground.
