Description
It's a sin to bolt cracks like this one, hence the name "Haram Crack", Arabic for sin. The crack is bolted so that people who only have quickdraws can lead it. It's possible to lead the crack just on gear as well.
Starting on the platform, climb the crack to the bolt anchor.
Location
The route is on top of the Thali platform, just to the left of number #9.
Protection
The route is bolted the entire way up and features chains at the top of the route.
If you wish to lead it using trad gear, bring gear to a blue Camalot, with extra green, red and gold cams.
