I think this is the name of this climb. I’ll have to confirm. From the 2nd belay station on Dark Shadows, you climb the wide crack to the right. You don’t need gear larger than a #3 Camalot although larger gear will fit. The crack feels rattley on the bottom, but that might be because I was just in Yosemite. The thin moves at the end of the pitch can be protected with small cams. The route continues up for a 10c bolted pitch, but we didn’t do it because the anchors were crowded above. It looks good though and I would like to do it.

I went back with my brother and finished that bolted route. It has some balancey moves on varnished rock. Its a good one.
