Description
Catch yer Own Train aka NRT (Nipple Reactivation Therapy):
Two cracks run somewhat parallel to each other; one in a corner and the other on the face of a blunt pillar. Start by jamming your way up a left facing corner with stem rests till it tips out above a decent lock. Clip the lone bolt (remove or sling the piece below it) and find a way to meet up with the crack that slashes the face of the pillar.
When I first aided up this thing I thought the crack switch would be improbable or desperate at the very least. A few key holds appeared with minimal cleaning and fortunately with a decent wingspan the crack switch reach was fun and quite reasonable (Curious to hear from folks with shorter frames). A bit sandy lower down as it’s still cleaning up. A fun and unique new-school Creek addition.
