Description
Perhaps the name of this route should be changed to Crack 64? This rotue used to lie behind campsite 69, but the changing landscape in Indian Cove campground put it behind site number 64. Note this in your book to avoid confusion.
Climb up and right on low angle rock to near the top of the formation where it becomes steeper, but no harder. The climb protects reasonably well and is a decent lead for beginners.
Descend as for the other spider routes.
