Another classic addition from Dave Fearnley, probably first climbed wearing psychedelic furs. Advance boldly up to first bolt and then enjoy the sublime face climbing with just enough pockets to get by. A bit run-out to the anchor (take wires for the crack if you wish), but the climbing has eased off by this point.
A rarely climbed thin trad crack that looks good but will need a big clean.
