Stretch Marks

This is an excellent pitch to the left of

Thindependence

. It takes an elegant thin crack next to an arete and has a fixed pin 30 feet up. A first crux (.11a) is encountered just of the ground and is a tad on the hairy side (10 feet up, bad pro). A second crux (.10+) is encountered after the pin on delicate liebacking and is well protected. Follow some 5.9 cracks after the arete peters out up to the second pitch on

Pear Buttress

. This route is hard to toprope without a 200 foot rope, better to continue on to the top or rap off near

Toot

.

RPs, small stoppers, a red Metolius TCU, for just after the crux, a few medium sized pieces for the belay.
