Seasonal Bird Closure MORE INFO >>>

Description 

Another classic, like most of the routes on the wall. It's all gear, starts on a wideish(3") crack and then starts up a sustained finger crack. The locks are so good most of them hurt.


Location 

This route is on the FAR left side of the wall, it's the very obviously chalked up finger crack.


Protection 

All gear, stops and double small stuff to 1"

Protection 

All gear, stops and double small stuff to 1", you may want a 3" piece to protect the first 15 feet or so.

This has been called "Wildcat Crack" since at least the FFA. FA John Znamierowski & Mike Vaschon, 1980; FFA Matt Christensen, 1987.

Is the rap anchor still a single bolt and a fixed nut?

The rap anchor is currently 2 bolts plus slings & biners. This and several other Wildcat routes would be good candidates for chains.

A great rite of passage for any WA 5.10 climber.
