Climbing Yorkshire Gripper, just before the crux. ...


Description 

Yorkshire Gripper climbs the beautiful cracks up the center of a blunt prow to the left of Crime of the Century. Expect fairly solid finger jamming to a well-defined crux where the crack peters out.

Beta alert: I received the excellent advise to dispense with pro through the crux section. Simply load up the crack before the crux and punch through the crux moves without thinking of pro. After the crux, you should get a pretty good stance from which to place gear. The crux is pretty short and the gear before it is very solid.

I second backing up your last piece of gear in the crack. I took a big fall on this one and landed about a foot above the ledge on the route. Yikes!!!
