Unknown but friendly climbers on The Y Crack, Tahq...


Description 

This is an excellent one-pitch hand crack, with sustained difficulty and great protection on good rock. I climbed it via the left start (recommended by others). The crux section (just above the junction of the two starts) has mostly good jams – a slight overhang to the wall and an awkward right lean to the crack make it difficult.


Protection 

Double up on hand sized pieces and some small stoppers.

I thought this climb was really fun. Jumped on it after getting annoyed waiting for Whodunit. Reminded me a little of Illusion Dweller.
As opposed to the guy in the picture, I took the left start.

Maybe I should post the full resolution image. "The guy" in the photo is a very attractive woman on a very attractive rock. I usually downsize photos of people I don't know though.

We took the left line too. Once I saw these two on the right line it made me want to go back to try it that way.
