Description
Start just right of Spacely Sprockets at an obvious right arching crack.
Pitch 1: Climb up an easy slab to reach the right arching crack. Follow the crack up and right to a belay near an arête (5.9+).
Pitch 2: Follow the crack right around the corner then up and right to the top of the formation (5.7+; V1).
Variation 1: Instead of doing the 2nd pitch, climb the face above the P1 belay to the top (5.6+).
Cogswell's Cosmic Cogs was the rival business to Spacely Space Sprockets.
