Crack Attack

V2, Boulder, 12 ft (4 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: Jesse Hintz
International > Africa > Tanzania > Mwanza > Punk Kids Upper

Description

This crack is pretty slimy, and was a bit flakey when climbed the first couple times. I'm not much for hand jams, but it seems like this would be the place to do it. Otherwise, layback your way up to the ledge on the left, then drop off from there.

Location

This one is downhill and to the right (southwest) of the main Punk Kids Upper area. You can see it from the top of The Grand Stage or the other boulders around there.

Protection

A couple pads are nice to cover the prickly weeds.

Wishing I knew how to do hand jams at this point.
