Description

This is a great warmup climb to start things off in the city. When facing Bath Rock from the Bath Rock parking lot, East face, this is the major crack you see on the far right. The crack has a few wide sections, but the face is easy so you can always step out of a few friction moves. The climb is easy to protect.

Descend down rebar route on the back side.

Protection

Large gear up to a #4 cam.

[Hide Comment] From your photo, you describe the Eastside Groove, and not Epic. Epic is the system to the right of the long and straight crack system. Both routes are 5.6. Jun 16, 2013
