Description 

All the way down the hill at Turret rock to a crack on the left edge of the quite narrow west face. Follow the crack to the chains.


Protection 

Standard rack - the cracks will eat up all the gear you can feed it.

Sqeezing the Lemmon II mentions this is many beginners first gear lead. There are others that would be better - Hoosgal 5.5 or Probation 5.6 at Prison camp are probably better choices. This is a fun climb, but weird stances make placing the gear much more tiring on this climb. See an area comment by almonzo for some other suggestions. I felt this is closer to a 5.7.

Yep, Rabbit Tracks is high on my list of sandbagged Lemmon climbs on which an early leader could run into serious trouble. I've led this a few times and followed it a few times, and am consistently surprised by its 5.6 rating. On lead, it feels like 5.7+, but as Vincent points out, part of this is due to the awkward stances necessary while placing pro. In any event, its a stretch to call this a three-star route.

I actually thought the pro was very good and the stances were good. Up top the cracks disappear, but I was still able to find good nut placements.
