(b) Crack Wall

Washington > Northwest Region > San Juan, Fidal… > Mt Erie > (d) Powerline Area

Description

Crack Wall is a small wall just climbers left of Powerline West. It has a few easy to moderate sport routes separated by a couple cracks for the trad leaders. Has nice holds on the lower half of the wall with it smoothing out for the top third. The wall has a tendency to get a touch mossy as that it doesn't get much sun.

There is a scramble climbers right of the wall that allows you to access the anchors on top of the wall.

Getting There

The Sunset Trail passes by Crack wall. Same approach as Powerline Wall.

From the top: 10 min approach
From the bottom: 25 min approach
