Description

Not far from [Big Bad Wolf](https://openbeta.io/climb/78bf5366-a2b9-5c72-b09b-da58d41e7668), The Fox bites your hands, swallows you, and spits you out. A couple of face moves lead to a gorgeous corner crack, starting with narrow BD 0.75 jams/liebacks and widening to pumpy fists. The crux is a wide section where a decent rest awaits if you can fight through. The upper section eases to low-angle climbing, but an optional #6 may provide peace of mind if you're gassed out. You can walk off to climber's left. As of 2024, a bolted anchor allows lowering off. Lowering with a 70m is doable though it requires the belayer to climb up. **Tie a stopper knot!**
