Welcome to the Cirque

Description

Beautiful, steep crack climbing. Crux is at the boulder problem start.

Location

The obvious crack line running straight up the right side of center wall.

N45.14277, W70.19891

Protection

Good gear all the way up. But the crux is at the bouldery start. A very powerful move to hang on while protecting the opening moves, or have your belayer spot you until you can get a rest and easier gear placement in at about fifteen feet.

[Hide Comment] excellent moves on this deceptive gem. the gear is there but don't pass up any placements. rule of thumb! there are two distinct cruxes the are deserving of the grade. Jun 22, 2020
