Description A beautiful, short crack climb that is harder than it looks. Sustained and fun. Start just right of the Uberfall, on a boulder below an obvious right-leaning finger crack. P1: Climb the crack and belay from a tree at the top. 5.7+, 50'. Walk off to the left and downclimb the Uberfall.
Protection Nuts and cams up to a #2 Camalot.

Comments on Ken's Crack
By Paul Crowder Mar 12, 2006 rating: 5.8 The route description is accurate - this attractive crack is no giveaway. It also sees a lot of traffic due to its relative proximity to the Uberfall and the Carriage Trail. If it's open, jump on it.
By Joe M Jun 3, 2008 rating: 5.7 PG13 A very fun crack climb. One of the few lines Ive done so far at the Traps that can be done entirely using crack techniques. A must do.
