Details
This crag is on private property. CSX owns the tracks you must cross to get to the crag, but apparently they don't seem to care. The actual cliff is owned by an unknown private individual who's policy hasn't been established.
Due to an unfriendly owner, several years ago nearly all of the routes were stripped of fixed protection, including anchors.
Description
Interesting short crack. I would say it's pretty sustained, several tricky sections. Good warm-up.
During a lap on this one I decked 10ft because I was distracted by a low-cut top. She found it quite funny. Keep your eyes on the rock, boys...
Location
On the Amtrak Arete sector. This is on the left side of the crag. You'll see a slab with a bolted line in the middle (
Thanador 5.9) the crack to the left is Trojan Elite.
Protection
Good gear. Small stuff upto the horizontal (BD#2).
Quick clip anchors at the top.
[Hide Photo] Mmm..ass shots. The face to the right is Thanador 5.9
[Hide Photo] At the anchors of Trojan Elite. Yes, I'm aware that most these photos suck. They're more for beta than anything.
