Description

The first crux is deciding to jump on this intimidating splitter. Probably one of the most impressive looking 5.10 cracks in my opinion at Twall. Hardly sees any traffic so don't expect everything to be clean. There's still loose stuff to watch out for. But most of it's solid. Fists to fingers to chimneys to body stems and bear hugs this has it all. While I am indeed an odd fellow and this may be considered as much by most. But I highly recommend the extra minutes to get there. If you decide to take the challenge you'll be rewarded with vomit inducing euphoria. Get the onsite and you'll feel like you smoked the crack instead of climbed it!

Location

Pull off ground into flair with a fist crack. Just to the right of Fox on the Run in a big ass roof crack in a cave. It's about as obvious as the headlights of a Freightliner.
