BETA PHOTO: The BIG crack
Photo by Adam Stackhouse



Description 

From California Night, head directly towards the crack, scramble through some bushes and start the crack from the left side. Climb on top of a flake/block that sits in the crack. Once on top of the block, down climb into the crack. Start Chimneying. Notice that the crack does not look that tall from outside. Inside however, you see that the rock goes into the ground and it is a long drop.

Unless you want to protect this with a Big Bro, this climb is most easily just soloed. Once you are in it, is quite secure. The chimney is the perfect size to jam your knee and take a rest anytime.


Location 

This is the large crack right next California Night. You can see it from the road.
Down climb left off the boulder.


Protection 

None

I put a route name, simply because it looked nicer. If anyone knows the real name just let me know. It is not in the SD guidebook.

No recorded name that I can find, although some of the old(er) timers might have something. BTW, photo credit goes to someone doesn't it?
