Crackin' Out of Control

5.11-, Trad, 90 ft (27 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: FRA, Drew Hellams
N Carolina > 3. Piedmont Region > Pilot Mountain > 08. Amphitheater

Description

Take the well traveled crackin' up and traverse right  under the roof. Lots of gear options but dirty. Some spooky moves will feel stressful because of dirty face/roof holds and loose rocks. The ultimate goal would be to chimney/offwidth without stepping onto Arms Control ledge.

This first recorded ascent was done LRS and ended on the permadraws but tricams can make the finish protectable.  

Location

Locate large amphitheater and head to the back left corner crack. 

Protection

Standard NC rack. Lots of slings for rope control.
