sout face crack


Description 

This is the beautiful left angling crack up the south face of South Six Shooter. It begins as a wide crack with some stemming options (doesn't feel like an offwidth). Then, angle left as it tappers from big hands down to fingers. You can do this as one pitch to a rap anchor after 90 feet. Or take it to the top in two pitches joining the last pitch of the "regular" South Face route to the top and do two single rope rappels with a 60 meter rope back down the route to the ground.


Location 

This is the beautiful left angling crack up the south face of South
Six Shooter. Unmistakable. See photo.


Protection 

Double set of Camalots from .4 to 3. Only one 3 is needed.

There's also a discussion of this variation on the South Face page, including a few photos of the pitch that I posted.
