Situated along the sunniest wall at the crag, this (mostly) bolted route actually starts with a short hand crack. Pull a move off a ledge, which maybe earns the route a stiffer grade than it gets, and continue up/left to the anchor. For more fun, head up to a larger ledge after the anchor and follow a short crack with a difficult/steep start to the upper anchor (gear-protected).

Time for a hint: in the 90's the crag was closed suddenly and climbing was banned by the county who had plans to turn it into a quarry. After decades of battle, a feisty preservation society won over the county who established the area as it's newest public park, and climbing was back on the menu.

***DAILY DOUBLE***

These TWO routes share the same name except for one letter.  

They also are nearly the same difficulty, one being only a letter grade harder.

One is striking and aesthetic; the other not so much.


EDIT: these two climbs are located roughly 141 miles apart 

EDIT: one ends in a “P” and the other ends with a “T”

Cascadia Crack and Cascadian Crack? They are the exact same grade on MP though.
