Snap, Crackle, Pop

5.10, Trad, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 2.2 from 26 votes
FA: Lynn Sanson, BJ Sbarra
Colorado > Carbondale Area > Narrows > Narrows Proper

Description

This is a good route with some fun, juggy climbing sandwiched by harder sections with smaller holds. It shares an anchor with the route to the right.

Location

It is located on the right side of the Notch as you walk into it, 15 feet left of the arete. This is the leftmost of three routes that all share the same anchor.

Protection

You may want a finger-sized cam to protect the moves getting to the first bolt, or you can use a stick-clip. From there, clip three bolts on your way up the wall.

[Hide Comment] An Alien will work best for the slot below the bolt, but also a yellow C3 does okay. The move up to where you can clip the bolt (painted) is definitely easier if you have a long reach. You do not want to blow this move without the cam or stick clip, nasty landing in my opinion. May 4, 2008

[Hide Comment] Move for move, the best thing I did in this area. Continuous, contemplative and steep climbing on solid rock. Jul 8, 2008

[Hide Comment] Too bad it is not 40 feet longer, it is fun climbing, glad you enjoyed it. BJ had everything in place, hurt his finger so I was able to swoop in for the FA (with him belaying):) Jul 16, 2008
