Rat Crack

This is a pretty obvious line that follows the grungy, right-facing corner (which climbs surprisingly well) to a blocky, weird roof. Get ready for some St. Vrains funk here. It continues in a crack past a tree and then up to the top of Stone Temple Pilots. When I climbed it, we traversed right during the second pitch to the anchors of

White Shores

which worked nicely and made the descent only one rappel.

It is pretty far right on the south face of Sweat Loaf and shares a start with

Rat Crack Direct

and

Black Ramp

. If you get to the bolted "

White Shores

," you've gone too far.

A standard rack with a #4 Camalot. Like for other climbs at this crag, nuts were great as well.
