UKC
A staple hand crack of the quarry. Good gear but you'll get pumped if you spend too much time placing it. Head up the slab to the beginning of the roof. Traverse left and around the corner up into the main crack. Some hard moves of overhung crack climbing. Slightly tricky mantle where the crack runs vertically onto the slab above. Some people belay here on a gear anchor just above the mantle, otherwise continue up the slab to top out.
