Hop down from the ledge that Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon begin from (assuming you are on the ledge) and walk around the cliff to the right. Follow the cliffline until you see a huge roof about 7 feet off the ground with an offwidth crack splitting it. Walk through the cave and start the offwidth where it is narrow enough for a fist jam. Climb all the way through until you can grab a jug 4 feet over the lip. Step off or continue to the top.
Once described as "The offwidth version of The Crack House".

Easily one of my favorite climbs at the red, it's so unique and fun, you won't do anything like it at the red. Amazing roof moves with multiple swings off of great heel toe cams Everyone should get on this line.

You're right , I will do nothing at the Red like this. "Hmm, let's go OW bouldering at the Red!" Rigggghhht!!! after we chase parked cars and huff kerosene through wonder bread. maybe for dessert we can listen to the super safe ian podcast "Bolt it and no one will come"
