Me and the crux or should I say me in the crux.

A nice undercling to the right which proved to be a useful tool while I was trying to pull my knee out of the crack.

Huston goes straight up for approximate 50 feet. You begin with a few nice hand jams.  As you ascend the route, the crack gets wider and wider.  The crux of the climb is from about 30' to 40' up.  The end of the crack narrows to fist and hands again and then ends on a nice ledge for a top rope or belay anchor. 



Hey Roger. . .I STILL KIND OF LIKE OFF WIDTH!!!!!
