, is a tempting crack line that abruptly terminates at a slabby bulge. Navigating the bulge, traversing on a thin series of moves right, is the crux. The crack below is in the 5.10 to 5.11 range.

Mile High Grundler

Sidescraper

Begin on the far left side of Squirrelhide Crag. Look for an architecturally perfect inset dihedral about 80 feet off of the ground. Pitch one (short) leads up to the corner following a 5.7 crack with a log jammed in about 30 feet up. We tried to trundle the log, but it won't budge. There are two hand drilled bolts on the ledge to belay from.

Pitch two is the money. Follow a perfect hand/fist crack up for about 35 meters until it is possible to belay at a small tree out left. From here, take another short pitch to the top following a nondescript chimney/offwidth.

From here, it is possible to walk off to the left.
