Description

This is overall a pretty clean, east face route with good rock; the hardest part is the summit crack. From the northeast toe of the formation, an awkward move off the ground is needed to reach the slab. Easy slab leads to one section of thin slab climbing followed by 250 of very easy slab. The final summit spire is easily tackled via an obvious crack on the right side of the east face.

To descend, rappel 90 feet down the north face. Maybe consider bringing webbing if it needs to be replaced off the chockstone.

Location

It is at the base of the northeast side of Jamcrack Spire and is also known as the "Crackiron."

Protection

A Flatiron rack.
