Description

Guillotine Crack is an excellent, severely overhanging hand crack. It's on you from the first move until you climb the bolted anchors. Guillotine Crack has trickier gear and jams than most other cracks at The Citadel. The rock is also sharper than anywhere else in the area. Nevertheless, the gear and jams are all there. Try not to pump out!
