You may have to think about this one for a minute… Climb the steep left-leaning crack up the middle of the huge overhang. Long moves between big holds in the 45-degree crack lead to an insecure mantle at the lip. One of the area's proudest; take a look at the top before you set off.

There's a good left crimp on the top out next to the seam on the flat part. Kinda have to reach back for it but it helps a lot with the mantle.
