Description 

Approach by either walking right past the main face of Nuclear Reactor Rock, then left into a corridor around the east side. About midway down the corridor, Nuke the Whales is the left of two obvious cracks.

Alternate approach from the entrance to Conan's Corridor: from the entrance (facing into the corridor), turn left and boulder hop through a small pass. Above, turn right again and head north. The large dome to the NNW is Nuclear Reactor Rock. Head directly to the corridor.

Start with overhanging moves to a stance, beware the initial big jug is somewhat loose. From the stance climb offwidth crack by using a finger/thin hand crack. The jams are supplemented by face holds left, which help keep the difficulty down.

Easy descent climbers right.
