Description Suggest change

This is similar to Murray's Crack on the Citadel, in terms of being a right-facing/leaning, wide crack/corner, but it is probably a bit easier than Murray's Crack, hence the name. The pitch ends at a modern bolted anchor about 10-15 feet right of where the corner becomes a roof. From there, the option exists to continue upward, clipping bolts for a good second pitch, also ending at a bolted anchor (slightly hidden).

Location Suggest change

Left side of Rabbit Ears Slabs, easily spotted from the bottom of Rabbit Ears Canyon. For approach, I recommend starting as for Citadel West Ridge/Nose/Finger Zinger/Arch Rival, but then heading west across Citadel Canyon and then scrambling up to the route.

Protection Suggest change

Bring plenty of big gear, i.e. 1-2 Camalot #5s, 2-3 #4s, and maybe a few #3s. Also bring a few smaller pieces to protect the upper part where you traverse right out of the crack feature.
