Fancy Free, 5.10

1st Pitch- 60m- 5.9+/ This is a thoughtful pitch but has plenty of rests compared to many of the steep cracks at the Needles. The crux comes towards the top where the crack gets slightly flared. Pull a roof lower down, follow some moderate climbing at the grade and climb the 5.9+ slightly flared corner up to a ledge below the obvious 5.10 thin corner. Move right on the ledge and sling a horned feature for the belay. Fancy Free, 5.10, 3 Pitches, The Charlatan, The Needles, Sequoia National Forest, CA, August, 2013
