Passing Lane

FA P1: Unknown, P2: Kent McClannan, Mike Alkaitis (2007), P3: Kent McClannan, Steve Levin (2008)
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

I only did P1 (5.9), which climbs and protects well (perhaps PG-13 for rotten rock). P1 can be a suitable alternate start for

Handcracker

, which will join in about midway on Handcracker's P2. Perhaps this is why it is a called "Passing Lane." It is also a quick way to access

Reckoning

.

P2 (5.9+) - a description is needed.

P3 (5.9+) - a description is needed. It finishes at the top of the Mail Ridge Tower.

Location

Keep walking 20 feet or so past the start for

Handcracker Direct

on the narrow ledge. Look for a #4s crack with rotten rock.

Protection

P1 takes a standard rack up to #3.
