Energy Crisis

This is an amazing crack climb and should be added to everyone's must do list. The rating is right on for Yosemite, with the crux jams being ring locks through a bulge. After that, its all about how long you can stay on before you fall off.

The crack is located at the far western end of the cliff band and faces west. See approach info listed in the Cream area.

Also, you can see the route from the Reed's pullout. Its at the same level and just slightly up river.

Gear to 2.5" Extra 1.5" - 2" pieces. The slings and fixed nuts at the top have been replaced with rappel chains.
