Description Suggest change

A two pitch crack that unfortunately seeps water except for after extended dry weather. The second pitch is a classic lieback dihedral comparable to the Split Pillar on the Grand Wall. This route is in the Kevin Mclane book but not in the Squamish Select book. Route begins a bit past Rock On, on the left wall. The first pitch of the Opal is now considered the standard start (5.8).

Protection Suggest change

Double rack to #1 camalot. As many #2 and #3 camalots as you feel like you need. Most mortals will probably want at least 3 x #2 and 3 x #3 camalots. There is about 70' of sustained hands to big hands in a corner. First '50 of the second pitch is mostly fingers to big fingers. A old BD #3.5 fit perfectly before the move to the anchor, and it looked like a new #4 camalot would as well.
