Description
On May 21, Ray Hellinger and I were looking for "5.8 Route," which we thought would be our warm-up. Because the route line drawn for "Upper Tier Crack" is wrong (#8, p.95 in the 2016 guidebook), and because the guidebook states that "5.8 Crack" is the next route to the right of "UTC," we decided on this crack system.
Ray led up sharp, fragile flakes and jugs then followed discontinuous, dirty cracks. Eventually he topped out, using a tree that was a ways back for an anchor. I followed, then walked north along the rim to find a two-bolt anchor, which we eventually ascertained is at the top of the original "5.8 Crack." The route that we just did turned out to be undocumented. Afterward, we did the original "5.8 Crack" (which DOES have the huge death block mentioned in the guidebook), "UTC," "Fact Check," "Taliban Tea Party," and "Rise Above," and have become authorities on the geography of this sector.
