Description

A roof crack over 30ft long. Starts with short OW section, middle section is hand/fist, finishes with a flaring lip. Jim Thurmond trained at his home for 3 months on oak boards elevated on saw horses. He nailed the FA in 1987 and named it Thurmonuclear's Crack, in an obvious play on spelling to insure the FA. The route has been climbed ground up only twice, both by Thurmond. Kris Hampton repeated in 2008. Unrepeated since. Usually wet for a few days after rain.
