Cracker Jack 

The 5th bolt hanger/nut fell off this route on 8/23/08 while a party was climbing it. The hanger and bolt were put back on, but only hand tightened. I didn't have a wrench or loctite so I just made sure it was reasonably snug when I climbed it.

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.
