Description

Crankin' Wagon is a play on krankenwagen, the German word for ambulance, which is what you'd likely need if you fell off this route. It's a super fun, little route that goes straight up the middle of a small pillar on the Six Pack Wall. Start by pulling some big moves on positive holds in gently overhanging terrain. Then it gets a little more technical before pulling over into lower angle terrain. The climbing is really fun but also quite consequential.

The FA was done as a headpoint solo which seems like the best style for this bit of climbing. A toprope can easily be set up by climbing the neighboring routes if you want to work the moves.
