Crack Direct

Instead of starting out on the crack, climb the face directly below the vertical section of the crack. The crux is below any pro, so don't fall until you get up to the crack.

Friends to 2 1/2" and nuts.

There are also chains on the top of the crack, which can be accessed by walking south on Beaver Street, taking the alley to the right, and following the path behind the tennis courts up the backside of the wall. Do not climb the part of the wall facing the street (the one with the No Climbing sign), the neighbors have complained about rocks falling onto the sidewalk and hitting cars.
