Any route or boulder problem that starts out of or near an occupied campsite may not be done without first obtaining the campsite occupant's permission.
Such a Line is the proudest crack line at the Zebra Cliffs. This Yosemite style splitter is strenuous and intimidating. An awkward right leaning hand crack leads to a pod (5.10c). Exit the pod and climb the right hand branch to the top (5.10d).
I placed a bomber stopper high in the left crack with a long runner before veering into the right crack. If the rock quality was better I would give this route 4 out of 5 stars. Regardless, the climbing was fantastic.
Yosemite style splitter? Huh? Anyway, this is the best looking line at the crag and probably the longest as well. Quality but somewhat awkward climbing climbing in the flare. Inexplicably gets no stars in Vogel.
