Route Overlay Ginger Cracks.

The first 5 pitches of Ginger Cracks, with approx location of route and belays marked.

This is looking down the last 5.8 variation on Unimpeachable Groping. Highly recommend adding this on for a route that is pretty much 1000 feet! Super fun climbing too. The descent is loose but manageable, watch your ropes getting stuck in cracks on first rapp.

Looking down the cool stembox

A classy belay set up for the sling craft nerds out there. Pretty much every anchor is bolted except for the very top. Makes for very efficient climbing.

Route Overlay Ginger Cracks (showing decent too).

The awkward chimney on p2

In this photo you can see the rap anchors atop Power Failure. Watch out that you don't kick the rocks down as there are routes and possible climbers on this wall below you!

Funky chimney on Pitch 2.

Maleea enjoying a great day and belay!

Start of Pitch 3.

Top of pitch 4, real cool belay ledge for pitch five!

Avoiding the wide crack on the first pitch

Starting out on the 5th pitch

One heck of a nice ledge for the last pitch of Ginger Cracks. I'm on the UG bolted variation, but the starting point is the same for the traditional GC finish.

Enjoying the wide crack.

Top of P3

Belay off a tree at the top of Pitch 5. The only belay anchors without bolts is this one and the one at the top notch.

For the last pitch, make sure to step left for the final 30 feet to the notch, rather than being suckered into the chasm (in this photo, I was looking out from the chasm, with the arete I should have been on to the right).

In the bowl descending to the rap anchors atop Power Failure. Watch out that you don't kick the rocks down as there are routes and possible climbers on this wall below you!

Christa finishing the beautiful crux pitch 4.

Rapping down Power Failure. We did it in 2 double-rope rappels, despite several sources of beta that said 3 double rope rappels. Perhaps we used different rap anchors (the ones we used for the 2nd rappel were in the middle of the waterstreak about 50-55m down).
