Description

On the West facing wall of the Curelom rock there are a lot of crisscrossing cracks. The easiest of them on the right of the picture (not the real wide one) is The Iron Rod. It is the only crack that goes obviously to the top and is long and straight like an iron rod. It is a diagonal crack that is good for people learning to climb crack. I have only bouldered it up to the second horizontal crack. Perhaps with trad gear it could be taken to the top. Down climb the same way you came up.
