Length
14 m

No protection. A knifeblade may fit in upper section of crack but seems unnecessary. Lower section would still be runout. The oaks might break a fall into a pit of despair. Single belay bolt or scramble off west.

North of Wild Horse Wall is a smaller separated crag. Near the left side of its' south face (north of Wailing Banshee) is an unprotectable dihedral behind some oak trees. If you don't setup a TR, you'll have to basically free climb it.
