This clean, steep, somewhat right leaning crack would be crowded every day of the season if it were located closer to the masses. It is located on the steep southeast face of Olympic Dome just right of Black Diamond (5.12a); to get to the base of the route, some "Class 3" climbing is necessary.
Though the crack appears fairly wide in spots, it has no dreaded offwidth sections and is an excellent route.
Protection
Bring a good selection of medium to large pro (to 4"). 2 bolt anchor/rap.
Thought there was a wide move or two up high. Vaguely disappointed although the route was very good, I suspect I was expecting a splitter, still 4 of 5 *'s. Bolts at the top, w/o chains/slings seemed an oddity.
