Description

A fun, short, handcrack with plenty of features to use inside and outside the crack.

Start in a small pod on top of the boulder pile next to “easy street”. Climb straight up the short crack and move right onto the lower angle face once the crack starts to widen. Protection becomes spares once you leave the crack but the angle and climbing is much gentler. This route shares the two bolt anchor with easy street.

If the crack was 90 feet instead of 25 this would be a 4 star pitch.

Location

Located up and to the right of the mass of trees, right of Brazilian Tenet Farmers and climbers left of Easy Street on top of a large boulder pile.

Protection

BD singles from 0.5- #3. And/or a set of nuts. Two bolt anchor with quicklinks/ rap rings.
