US 34 is the crack in the center.


Description 

1.2 miles west of the Beige Siphon tube in the Narrows on Practice Rock. The right side of the wall has two cracks, the one on the left is Safety in Numbers, 5.11. [U S 34 Bypass] is the broken wider more vertical crack on the right. Jam and edge up the crack, good placements at good stances, to the small roof. Reach out left and smear up the face (crux), to a good stance. Easy to the anchors.


Protection 

Good protection with small nuts and cams, and a 2 and 3 inch cam or top rope.

There is a bunch of loose crap and choss at the top of this climb. Watch yourself.

This is a decent climb. The gear near the bottom is good, but is a bit sparse at the top. Climbing at the top becomes much easier. I used the crack for my feet, and the crimps on the face above the crack at the crux! Bolted anchor at the top.
