UKC

61m, 2 pitches. One of the best routes for hand jamming on this side of the Atlantic, steady for the grade if that's up your street.

βeta: If up for the challenge I found the direct finish way more fun. Continue up the crack from the belay ledge to the top. Don't veer left. Goes at 5c instead of 5b. Plenty of gear options.
