BETA PHOTO: Super Crack. Fall, 2001.


Description 

One of the very best climbs of the grade at the New. Continuously difficult. Use longer slings at the bottom roof to avoid rope drag higher up. Save your strength and #1 and #2 cams for the crux up top. Some spectacular whippers from the very last moves have been seen.


Location 

Just to the right of the yellow face with the bolted Gun Club there's a corner with a prominent crack in it. This is the climb.


Protection 

Small and hand size cams, and a set of nuts provide excellent pro.

Very Good Route

Compared to alot of the other 9s (Chockstone,Roy's Lament, New Yosemite, Happy Hands, Diversity in Microcosm, Four Sheets to the Wind, Layback) this is probably the easist.
