Description
This is a one-pitch route that may be used to start
Femp
or
J-Crack
. This old-school climb is the business for 5.10-solid leaders at the grade should jump on it! Begin right of
J-Crack
(but before
Femp
) below a huge, round crystalline hole in the cliff, which harbors a large tree. Clamber up into the hole and pull crystals up into a left-facing corner. Ascend that (the crux) via sustained laybacking, lacking any noticable stances for placing gear. Belay on a ledge. It is possible to traverse right from here and downclimb the first pitch of Femp or rappel off of a dubious tree, but this is annoying and somewhat scary--best to continue up one of the fine routes above.
Protection
It requires mainly very small gear, and a #3.5 Friend fits the flare near the top.
