PTS Crack (The Patridge Town Send)

Description

This is the second pitch angling crack off the left side of the Volcano Ledge, with three different finishing options. P1 Climb Global Warming or one of the routes to its right up onto the main belay ledge with a SS glue-in anchor in the middle. Belay tied off to the anchor with some slack so the belayer can move under the start.

P2 - 50 ft Follow the right angling crack, with a few gnarly finger jams for the grade, to reach a triangular shaped pod you can get up into. From here you have 3 finishes, the first two going to the same anchor. Either follow the somewhat flaring but aesthetic handcrack up and left (a little pumpy and harder to clip the anchor), or take the cool flake and clip it from the right. Alternatively, stay with the original crack heading right and finish at the top anchors of First Impressions.

Location

Towards the right side of the cliff, off a nice belay ledge just left of First Impressions, above Global Warming and ..Volcano.

Protection

Gear, bolted lowering anchor at the top
