Description

The namesake lightning crack zigzag is the top quarter/third of the climb..Not sure if the bottom is the tight dihedral, or the face just right of the dihedral, but both are fun!

Location

Look for the zig zag crack at the top. Just left of the 3 bolt climb Tidy Up.

Protection

Can be easily topped out, but be careful of loose rubble on top.
