Cracker Jack 

Hanger still missing on 5th bolt... Agreed--climbing is very easy above this point, but a beginner leader might not love the runout.

Hanger is still missing from bolt #5, although as someone else noted earlier, it's past the crux on fairly moderate terrain. Still, if this crack route is already bolted, it might as well be safely so. I wish I had known ahead of time to try to replace. Doubt I'll get back there to do so soon, so I hope someone else can.

A one move wonder with easy climbing above the bulge. Not too shabby though!

Fun climb!! Look for the secret hold in the crack to get you over the bulge!

The lone cold shuts at the anchor of this climb were replaced with stainless steel Metolius hangers, quick links, and chains on 11/10/2003. Photos of the old shuts are below in the action photos.

Like a fine wine, those shuts were just getting good!... at least it is good to know that some of those don't just break after years of abuse. Thanks for the upgrade.

This may be the only line on High Wire where you can commit the Ultimate Crime at a sport area: jamming! Just kidding...it really is the easiest way to get past the bulge, IMHO. But I'm one of those sickos who thinks crack climbing is fun, anyway. :)

A decent, looooong route... it really seems more like a 5.6 or 5.7 after the bulge. That "secret" hold in the crack is a beaut.

Well bolted crux crack.

This route goes well on gear, save a #4 (#3 kinda works) for the crack next to the second bolt.

Anyone know why this beautiful crack is bolted? There must be a good reason.

The screw locks at the top of this route are getting fairly thin, although still strong. They should be replaced some time soon.

The crux of this route (at the top of the bottom quarter of the route) is a BLAST! I did a layback, buddies went straight up the crack, and I'm sure there're other ways to get over it, too. The bolts are in great locations for protecting the crux, too. Once past this crux, it really is a 5.6 or so to the anchors, but a really run route.

Was this area of Colorado settled by totally unethical French immigrants? Bolts next to a good crack-line are very, very naughty.

VS 5a in UK grades, F5.

Carry a wire (Rock 4 or 5) as there's a good crack by the silly bolt without a hanger!
