Description Suggest change

Perhaps the best pitch at Ping Creek, this is a long and varied traditional climb of high quality.

Start up a wide crack in a shallow corner to a ledge where the hand crack begins. Breaking with the norm for the wall, this crack is more than a shallow seam, and takes jams and cams great. At the top of the crack, step left and pull the bulge using a separate splitter hand/fist crack. The crack abruptly ends above the bulge, where engaging slab climbing protected by pods in horizontals takes you to the anchor.

This pitch is worth bringing the rack for. 

Location Suggest change

From the main area, head north up the hill along the base of the wall. After passing a large gulley, this climb will be the first encountered on the next section of wall. 

Protection Suggest change

Gear to 4” with doubles in hand sizes. Save some finger sized pieces for the upper horizontals. Chain anchors.
