Description

Fun hand crack. The crux is the first 8 feet right off the ground, a small thin crack protected by nuts, recommend putting 2 nuts from the ground beforehand. Beyond that, the crack opens up to hand size and can be used as jugs. 

The crack itself is solid, with good placements throughout the crack, but the anchor is questionable. I was able to place a 0.4 cam, and 2 nuts, 2 single slings + a triple-length core, for the anchor. We rated it R for lack of good placements on the top, good for bodyweight for sure, not confident if it will hold a legit fall. 

Top out and descend from the back, either side.
5.8-5.9

Location

Right of Gila Monster, walk up for 10-15 ft to arrive at the obvious crack, facing right. 

Protection

Nuts, offset nuts, and single rack up to #1. Be sure to have a 0.4 cam for anchor

[Hide Comment] Nice job! What a great place to climb if one doesn't a little crunchy rock or cleaning. Feb 5, 2024
