Right Crack

Description

Approach the crag as described in the rock description, and go up the slot to the small rock ledge at the base of the cliff.

Rack up and step onto the wall up and right. Follow a diagonal crack (thin, little pro) up and right to a vertical crack at the right side of the wall. Follow a system of two thin cracks upwards, side-pulling and using a lot of slopers for feet, switching sides of the crack system as needed. Toward the top of the route, there are two fixed pins, a KB and an old soft-iron pin. Both are reasonable, but the KB should not be implicitly trusted.

Once both pins are clipped, execute the crux moves to reach the top.

There are some minor runouts in this route for 5.10- moves. Some craftiness with gear makes the route relatively safe to lead. Serious injury from a fall seems unlikely.

This route, if cleaned of the lichen, might earn two stars.

Protection

A double set of smaller stoppers, two fixed pins, and a few small TCUs.
