Has anyone been on this route? The online guide is a little sparse for info, and the crack looks like it totally closes down leaving a pretty long run-out to the ledge. Otherwise it's one of the most aesthetic finger cracks I've seen in the red.
The route is fun. I remember cleaning it by rapping from the top of the tree that is nearby. Yeah the top of the tree. Pretty funny having your anchor swaying because of wind.

is that sarcasm? looks green in the pic.
it actually is super clean, you start by going up the right side of a detached flake, then head into a ~purple c4 crack. the crack really thins out to a knifeblade seam, and about 10ft of blank face to a large horizontal ledge. the "big move" left must be to a horizontal like 6ft to the left. it was a little scary with an ancient rusted bail nut about halfway up.
we couldn't see the "anchor tree" above the route.
