Description

The tallest boulder in the main Hilltop Cluster. It has split apart from the Snap Your Fingers boulder, leaving a sizable slot between that you can walk through. As you approach the boulder from the main trail, you will see the tallest face with the obvious namesake finger crack. Just around to the left is a longer wall with lots of holds that makes a good option for warming up. You can contrive a number of traverses heading left and up and there is also a really nice V0 arete on the far end, where the slot begins. Around to the right from OM Crack are a few V-easy highballs (best to consider them solos), with more easy climbing in the slot.

Routes are sorted L-R starting from the arete at the upper end of the slot.

Getting There

Follow the main dirt road/trail past the gate for a minute or two and it will curve to the right. Just before it starts curving back to the left, head off trail to the right and head for the highest hill with some obvious bigger boulders on it (if the leaves aren't thick it should be obvious). Initially you will be walking parallel and uphill from a stone wall. The hill with the main cluster is a little further, past the initial bump directly on your left that also has a few lessor boulders .The boulder is only a few minutes off the main trail and the landmark OM crack will be facing you.

Currently, do to a large fallen tree, for easier going, once you see the boulder, curve a little to the left and then come at it from the side rather the approaching directly.
