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. Begins 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.

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.
