Vie in The Fringe

This route offers a great hand crack most of the way but there are surface holds and bullet proof feet everywhere, so it can be climbed with minimal crack technique. Protection is ample, up to #3 cams for the higher sections of the crack. Take small gear for the crux bulge to the anchors. The guide books and Mountain Project indicate that this climb is 40 feet to the anchor, but this route is much much longer than that. I use a verifiable forty meter factory cut rope (131 feet) at the Black Cliffs and my rope once hung from the anchors was fully three feet off the ground. This route is at least 65 feet long.
