At the crux on Intertwine.

Description One of the 5.8 jewels of Crow Hill, Intertwine is a popular fingers-to-hands crack that protects well and challenges both leaders and topropers. Begin by working up a corner or by protecting in the corner and moving up the blunt right arete to the short ledge at the base of the right-trending diagonal crack. The crack leads to a ledge, where a chain around a thread can be backed up for an anchor.
Rappel, top out (easiest to the right, medium and hard by other routes), or TR a variety of nearby routes from the ledge.
Location This is on the left side of the main face, it is easily spotted by its characteristic right-leaning crack.
Protection Nuts and cams.

| Great climb that protects well, especially at the crux. It looks easier than it is, and the crux moves are stout (like all of the other climbs at Crow Hill), but very well protected. The hand jams at the top of the crack can be a little slick. |

| Very good stuff. Some interesting, well protected moves ending with a somewhat more burly finish. |

| Finally and well-deserved.
This route holds a special place in my heart; it is my first trad lead ever (WAY too many years ago). |
