Description
This crack is to the right of
Scorpio Crack. It is the small, right-leaning hand crack that moves up through broken terrain. Head up the short hand crack for about 40 feet. Then work through a series of broken blocks to the summit. Loose rock is an issue, and given the sharp nature of the rock, be mindful of rope drag.
Location
From the road, break off and head toward the north face of Scorpio Dome. From the firepit, go right down the gully/"trail" working through the trees for about 100 yards. Look for an opening to the left and a dead tree leaning against the rock. Go under the tree, and work to the large block. Crawl under the block onto the ledge.
Scorpio Crack is in the middle and about 15 feet to the right is Scorpion Jr.
Protection
Stand rack. Larger-sized cams like #3 Camalots will protect the last part best. There are no actual anchors, but you could build one off the two eye bolts.
