About 10-15 feet before the end, the crack narrow again--but luckily not quite as narrow as at the start.  Miraculously I found one last cam on my rack, a .75 Camalot, and found a spot where it nested nicely.  Several feet higher the crack widen to an awkward size for me.  With a totally pumped out right arm, I botched a tricky jam and fell.  I sailed downward about 20 feet before coming to a stop.  After a short rest, I headed back up and managed to keep it together.  I've never been so relieved to clip into an anchor.  I was totally spent.  It wasn't until I was back on the ground that I realized just how sore my right bicep was!
