Bow down human!

Finishing the route on this slick rock was very exciting. I was almost done.

Heres a good topo showing where to cross over

Tony Bubb climbs Lightning Bolt Cracks (5.11) on Indian Creek's North Six Shooter. This was done in Joseffa's approach shoe after arriving and realizing I'd forgotten my climbing shoes. Photo by Joseffa Meir, 2002.

Looking out of the chimney

Lightning Bolt Cracks are on the tallest (rightmost) formation. Start in the right crack on the bottom half, then transition to the left crack on the upper half. The axle-snapping drive and long approach are totally worth it.
