Barry Rose on the classic Face Up to That Crack


Description 

Follow the bolt line through a short, nice handcrack then more bolts to chains.


Location 

Located on Left Flank. Route goes up the center of the slabby face just right of Fast Food Christians. To reach Left Flank, take 77 East through the Nada Tunnel, then 1 more mile East to the Martin's Fork trailead on the left. Cross the street and take the Military Wall/Left Flank trailead, then bear left at the Y.


Protection 

Mostly bolted with a #1 camalot for the crack.

Super fun route! I thought the face climbing to the crack was slightly harder...maybe 5.8-5.8+, but there are only 2 really thin moves to gain the crack. Bring a #2 Camalot to plug in the crack, otherwise the route is well bolted.

Take Camalots #1 and #2 - you'll feel exceptionally well protected...

I agree the opening feet are a little harder than 5.8-, but the rest of the route is easier. I used a #2 camalot in the top of the crack, just to protect myself if I blew the next clip. None the less a great warm up for the other routes close by.

Felt a little tougher than 5.8-, that's just me though. I didn't use and pro for the runout section, it was the easiest part for me. Be careful what you grab when you reach the rest above the crack, there is a lot of loose rock.
