Crux

The guidebooks say the 4th pitch is the crux, but this traverse on a sometimes-thin sill with too few handholds had my attention more than the jams on the next pitch.

Re: Crux

??? Agreed, I did not think the 4th pitch was difficult at all? I will have to go back and read it. I thought the first pitch, going left, avoiding the flake, was the toughest rated in the opinion of the three of us who did it. And yes, this 3rd pitch was a little hard to protect as I recall.
