Access Issue: Illegal and X rated Details

Buildering is a dangerous and illegal activity that can result in serious injury and/or death. The climbing featured in these area shouldn't be attempted unless you want jail time and hospital bills.

Description

You may start with your left foot hooked around the edge. There are scant foot holds. Move to the right. It is quite painful.

Location

Per Bryce Tandberg: this is the thin, horizontal slot crimp rail that runs for around 20 feet. It is located just next to the obvious roof crack, aka Plummer's Crack.

You're calling this a V2?? Ive seen V5s that are easier than this thing. Maybe its just me, but I think V2 is a sandbagged grade. Jan 1, 2001

We haven't seen anyone do this sick traverse so really we should have a ? grade for it. I agree, its probably way harder than V5. Jan 1, 2001

It's a 5.13 traverse! Jan 1, 2001

This is solid 5.13, which should put it are v8 or higher depending on the thickness of your fingers. I guess the only attraction to this problem is its difficulty and location, but definately worth trying. Jul 24, 2002

I second that (above): Where is it? Knowing the engineering center, a V8 might not be an obvious line.... Mar 31, 2011
