Description Suggest change

A striking corner finger crack that sat in the woods for decades waiting to be rediscovered. This route appeared in Darryl Cramer's Sky Valley Rock, along with the aptly named Poop Chute, but not the more recent Index Town Walls

Start in a corner finger crack atop a flake (or start below for full value) and jam and stem your way up the finger crack until the angle eases and the crack widens. Continue up the crack to an anchor up high, which may be hard to see until you get closer.

The top may be a little dirty, but if this route cleans up a little bit its a pretty classic finger crack. Bring a brush and do something nice!

Also, there is a handline up the gully just west of Hot Curly that gives easy access to the anchors. So, it is easy to set up a TR on this crack. (As of early July, this gully is a bit clogged with debris from above, but should be cleaned up soon. If you're feeling in a helpful mood, bring up a small handsaw to help remove some of the fallen branches clogging up the gully.)

Location Suggest change

Left of the main wall of Zappa. You should see it up and left of the trail when hiking in on the approach - a short way after you pass Azure Winged Magpie.

Protection Suggest change

Standard Rack, emphasis on small cams
