The initial left leaning crack of no entre du canada. It eventually steps right into another crack system but hard to tell with the over exposure

[Hide Comment] This area has some of the best rock at wheeler. Still slabby but with a lot of interesting features. Right of "No Entra du Canada " are 4 more quality lines in the 9-10a range that are generally well protected. This area is great for a day of dragging but seldom visited; dont forget the scrub brush.
