Description
Rattlesnake Crack is one of the very best White Rock cracks, rated from 11a to 11c in different sources.
The crux is protected by small gear, which makes it a little scary, but good solid gear can be found before committing to it.
Head up to the undercling flake. Place pro underneath the flake and traverse left and crank through the insecure crux to a sharp flake to shake out on. From here, the rest of the climb is 5.10. Climb up to a triangular roof, pass this on the left, and lieback up the steep finger crack to a stance on the prow. Then mostly fingers with face pockets & small edges to the top.
A direct start in a seam 10' left of the undercling is 5.12, with not much for pro, if any.
Location
Climb is obvious from a wonderful big flat rock at its base. You'll see the clean face with the left-trending undercling traverse. This is the next climb to the right of S Crack, the obvious S-shaped crack.
