Description
As described in the Donnelly Canyon intro, this route is quite obvious. On my first visit to the area, I said, "That must be Supercrack." I was wrong, but this is one striking line.
From the parking lot, cross the drainage and head up canyon about 50 yards, then follow an obvious and well built trail up and left to the bottom of the route.
The first pitch is 120 feet long so don't forget the trail line. [Can TR with 70m] The first 25 feet or so are the awkward crux of the route, then you're in hand jam heaven. The crack does widen slightly near the anchor. The #4 Camalot is for the obvious pod at the bottom, you could get by without it with a big-hands piece a little lower. Have fun, and don't forget to keep your weight on your feet, no matter how much they hurt.
The less-climbed 2nd pitch also goes at about 5.10 and is fun wide flared but often with wide hands to fists deep in. Crux is the 5s roof just past the intermediate rap anchors.
Could likely link both pitches with an 80m and then also skip the sketchy intermediate rap anchors [2 bolts without hangers and a drilled piton] on the descent and just do 2 raps. Could theoretically take it all the way to the rim on 30 more ft of climbing on poorly protectable poor quality rock.
Be prepared to replace tat.
Can place some 5s and a 6 or two, but also protects pretty well with some 2s, and mainly 3s, and 4s, even a spot for a 1 and a 0.75, if you want to forego the big gear and feel comfortable on wide. Likely do want a 5 at the crux 5s roof past the intermediate anchors.
