We camped at the pullout near the creek across from the Pratt's Crack area. three "Hillbilly" type men left all of their food stacked in crates. I woke up when the bear knocked over a crate.

the bear grabbed some food, and ran away across the river.

Climbing on the Mainline, which goes up about 1,000' of cracks on the huge face south of Scheelite Canyon. This thing was a lot of fun. A few locals called it 10c - I'd say definitely 5.10 and harder depending upon which route you take up it.

Still plenty of untapped potential for the intrepid.
