Description Suggest change

Geologic time includes now! Apparently this thing continues to widen....better hop on it while you can.

Just right of the giant slumped block by Pente, about 30 feet of facey climbing protected by a bolt accesses a long acute dihedral with a tight-hands crack in the back-- the Slot Machine. Exiting the crack at the top is probably the crux, as one is forces to battle rope drag and sandy feet while underclinging around the roof closing off the top of the dihedral. We found the Slot Machine to be sustained and strenuous, but hardly 5.12 as described in the Knapp guide. Placque at base. Good anchors. 140’+

Protection Suggest change

2025 edit: The crack starts fingers and goes heavy on the #3s, but the biz is still probably the ringlocky rooflet. 

2018 edit: scroll down to comments. Sounds like more 2-3” gear.

2003: Many green camalots or 2" Friends, numerous red camalots, light assorted stuff for the bottom.
