Because inverting is more fun. Alex Fyfe

He wanted to place a #12 on his 12 month birthday - this required a little squeeze chimneying.

Russ racking up. Note the custom 8" wide Hex.

Getting wideeeeee

Chrysler Crack

Aaron in a rest spot after the crux. Its easy from here!

There used to be a decent approach map. I couldn't find it so I tried to make another, maybe slightly better one. Save this to your phone. Find the graffiti corridor and cairns and you'll be fine.

Charlotte about to downclimb the crux section of the approach to the base of Chrysler Crack. Seemed about 5.2ish. A fall would hurt but you won't bounce off the exposed ledge. There are two more easier cruxes after this for the approach. The second one is more exposed but much easier.

The other map I couldn't find. Don't know origin. Maybe google earth?

VG9 + VG12 is a pretty comfy way to lead this, when the 12 gets tipped your pretty much completely inside. Add some Bros if ya got em.

Pano from the Sunny spot nearby on a cool day.

Blue Big Bros and #9 Valley Giants dont work for as long as you would expect on this crack

Copping a rest without using the ledge rest.

The entire pitch of Chrysler Crack. There is a nice belay at the tree.
