3rd Pitch- 70’- 5.8+/ From the belay, traverse up and right to the deeper crack. Place larger gear as you ascend the pure vertical terrain. This rock is not as bomber as the crack on the fourth pitch of Dark Shadows, but there are no real crux moves for the grade, just steep. You will come to a fixed station below the roof.
