Cool crack.


Description 

This route is great.

It makes up for length with class as the climb itself is quite enjoyable. Easy climbing leads to hands with several holds within the crack.


Location 

Walk to the middle of the canyon and cross the stream to the obvious cliff, this crack lies in the center.


Protection 

Four placements will suffice: a medium nut, 2-#2 Camalots and a #0.5 Camalot.

A set of bolts at the top make this top ropable. They're easily approached by a trail to the climber's left. Fun lead though and my favorite climb at Butcher Knife.
