BETA PHOTO: Gatekeeper Crack follows the right line.


Description 

Ascend the clean, excellent crack system behind the pillar for 6 steep aid pitches to the top. There is a small bivy ledge (1 lying down) on top of pitch 4. We only placed 6 pins on this otherwise clean route, of which we highly recommend.


Location 

Begin 40' right of Locksmith Dihedral behind a prominent 200' pillar.
