Description Suggest change

An amazing splitter crack on the upper headwall, hard to miss walking up.

Climb the crack, build and anchor then rap a route in the hostess gully or walk off and downclimb into the Crack House.

Location Suggest change

This is the obvious right to left arching crack that splits the upper headwall above Patina Atoll.
3rd classing up the gully below Numbshall and El Castleton seems a good way to approach.

Protection Suggest change

Finger sized pieces are important blue tcu size to .5 camalot.
Anchor could be bigger pieces 3 or 4 camalot, or nuts and medium cams in a spot higher with more rope drag.
