Description
It's name speaks true indeed. This is the "very nice crack" to the left of the mouth of the Northwest Passage Gully.
From the ledge grunt through tough fingers and ring-locks up a steep start to a wider and more moderate top on perfect hands and fists... top it out and belay from the top... This would be a 4 star route if it was cleaner and had a lower off anchor (edit- brand new glue-in top anchors added)... the bottom is nice and clean the top out is very dirty...
Definitely a contender for the best crack at rumney but Blackjack still wins it every time...
