Description
Bit of a one move wonder with the crux coming just above a ledge at the start of the crack. scramble up the dirty 5-easy to a ledge and ride the hand-sized crack to the top. Seemed to go slightly harder than the undercling.
I believe this was originally climbed in 1932 and was referred to as “C6 - Southeast Crack” in the Sierra Club’s Newsletter, The Yodeler, from the “A Climber’s Guide to Local Rock” series.
This was originally entered into Mountain Project as “Mount Crackula”, so any previous comments or descriptions referring to that route are talking about this one.
