Access Issue: SOUTH SIDE CRAGS ARE CLOSED Details

7/2021: Access in this area has always been nebulous, but recently landowners have made clear that they want NO visitors in the area. Please refrain from visiting any of the crags on the Southside of the Meadow, including those along Glade Creek (Mud Hueco) and Orange Wall. This includes drivers, cyclists, ATVers, and climbers. Please climb at another crag.

Description

Start a bit to the left from the crack system about 15 feet up. Climb up on horizontals and then traverse a bit right to gain the crack (crux). From here, follow the crack to the finish, taking advantage of the many face holds along the way.

Location

From the approach trail, walk around to the left side of the Pebble. In the center of the left face, you'll see an obvious crack system.

Protection

Cams 1.5" or less, stoppers. Shuts.

GWB	[Hide Comment] This was a great route and, aside from the length, better than Machete Arete. A little tricky getting into the crack at the start but once in the climbing is straightforward and enjoyable. Not too much harder than its arete neighbor. Aug 3, 2015

Much easier than 10c. I think the book gives it 10a, and it's light in the grade for that. Stellar climb! Jul 10, 2018
