BETA PHOTO: The Y Crack (5.7+) following the obvious big crack...


Description 

Who would have guessed that this is the namesake route for this area. Easily identified on the approach, this great climb involves a thin crack start to a crux move about a third of the way up, where an arching crack meets on the left. Liebacking the OW portion until the Y choice is made, adds to the dimension of moves on this route. Near the top, either L/R finish goes the same, but going right adds a bit of exposure. Highly Recomended


Protection 

Standard rack, with a large cam option. Two bolts for the anchor/TR

Fun lead for the grade and well-protected. I enjoy a good crack with no more than a short offwidth section.
