Cynthia's Hand Job, 5.10+

Cynthia's Hand Job, 5.10+

2nd Pitch- 50m- 5.10+/ Scramble up right and then back left making for the obvious crack directly above and below the huge roof. I drug my ropes here versus recoiling. The start is a short flared section. I chimney’ed up it facing west. There are several foot ledges. Eventually you get your first hand jam and then you are off to the races. There are two solid standing rests on the pitch. It is just a tad overhanging. You will reach another wide section. Solid knee jam technique will gain you the meter or two you need here to reach hand jams again. The last section is the purest, just full on hand jamming, feet in the corner, no features. The exit could take a smaller piece before you step on a solid foot ledge out left and reach for the fixed rap station.
