Starting up Practice Crack


Description 

This route follows the obvious, right-leaning hand crack on the west-facing wall at Practice Rock. Climb the crack up and right until you reach a ramp with an old quarter inch bolt. Continue up a few ledges to the bolt anchor above and slightly left. Alternatively, there is another bolted anchor to the right on the big ledge. This route is mislabeled as "Practice Crack" in the new Southwest Montana Rock guide.


Location 

Start this route at the small ledge formed where the Pinnacle formation adjoins the main Practice Rock formation. A single rope rappel will get you down from your choice of bolted anchors.


Protection 

Cams from #2 TCU to #2 BD. An extra piece or two around #1 BD is helpful.

It's called "5.6 Crack", another example of that book renaming routes....
