An appropriate name for a lively route.  The crux is off the deck for a few moves of flared finger jams to hands.  It tightens back down before the roof.  Traverse the roof out left and make a wild move to gain the shelf.

Rest Day

I Crack (Animal Cracker Land)

Jaybird

Slightly overhanging flared tight hands and fingers.  Crux comes when the crack pinches to nothing and you must grab a face hold on the right.  A few great rests allow you regain composure, before tackling the final deep flare.

Fun stacking practice at the bottom, interesting flake at the top. I climbed this with Bob S., and it was new to him.  This is a good lead for the aspiring wide crack climber, not too difficult and very aesthetic.

Approximately 40 feet right Animal cracker land between two gaping chimneys lies a pile of bushes out of which the hand and fist crack Jaybird starts.  Right from the start the crack is overhanging.  As the crack starts to become less steep it opens up becoming a comfortable squeeze before it terminates in easy climbing to the top of the formation.  Kelman's book mentions a rappel station, I however, did not see it. Simil-rapping or other shenanigans are possible as the summit is relatively snag free.
