Description 

As the name suggests, a classic line. Fun steep hands up to a flaring offwidth that necks back down to hands before finishing up on a slab.


Location 

The first crag you come to once the trail tops the hill has Classic Crack splitting the middle. Gain a ramp from the left side to angle up towards the base of this route passing a splitter fingers crack called Espresso crack (5.12) on your way.

Pro to 3.5"

I expected something billed as "Classic Crack" to be, well, classic. Fun climbing n' all, but I wouldn't consider it a classic, even by area standards.
