Another Roadside Attraction, 5.11R

3rd Pitch- 35m- 5.10R/ This pitch has two short sections of run out. The first 15’ of blank mossy slab (which can be circumvented some by a less direct approach to the right) and another 15’ or so via the steep mantle move higher up. After the slab portion we took the most direct line, a hard thin finger crack straight up a corner with a large block hanging in it. Make awkward moves (crux of the pitch) to surmount this block and then move up and right out of the crack to the chossy face where you can make a mantle up and right and then angle back left into the crack for a semi hanging belay below the crux pitch of the climb, the tall finger crack above. No doubt the FAer’s might have taken the easier line to the right up an off width section, but it looked even dirtier than what we did.
