Hare and Tortoise, 5.10a

5th Pitch- 35m- 5.8/ This is the 2nd best pitch of the route in my opinion. You can either ascend a bit and traverse right and then descend crossing the gully to the base of an obvious hand crack in the face to the right, or traverse directly right around the very loose and chossy before mentioned pedestal. In either case, you are probably better served to move the belay to the low angled gully itself or at the base of the hand crack. Jam your way up the surprisingly (by Yam standards) consistent crack until it bleeds into a large horizontal break out right. Follow this ledge over precarious and loose blocks until you reach a bolt out on the arête. Climb the arête to a small fixed belay position below a wavy slab face.
