Trad fun.


Description 

This is the obvious crack line just uphill from The Joint Venture & Strategery (the most uphill bolted lines as of 7.10.4) on the Dinosaur's Foot. It is probably part of the nebulous Top Rope Wall area. This curving cleft just begs to be climbed to the trad at heart. Can you feel the pull? Are your hands & feet getting sucked toward the crack? Yet another moderate when the lines are long....

Fire up the fissure with more face climbing & laybacking than jamming. About 30 ft up you may encounter a crux. Trust your feet and step up. You can venture L to avoid a face climbing crux or go straight up for a bit more difficulty. Find the 3 bolt anchor at the top without rappel rings or links.

You can rappel or walk off down & R along a broad ramp. You can also access this as a TR from this same ramp.

1.12 stars ;)

Surprisingly, smaller pro to #2 Camalot.

Three bolt anchor for top rope.  Laybacks and face climbing easier than jamming off-width crack.
