Description
Same start as "Tweeker" but climb directly straight up the obvious crack. Though it looks "not that hard" Crack-Head turned out a little more challenging than expected. Right off the ground the first couple moves in the crack are challenging (12a or so). Gain a stance on a sloping slab just under the overhanging crack. Clip a high bolt where the over hanging crack starts and launch into a continuous section of desperate crack lay-backing into the red-point crux where the terrain eases back to 5.10 climbing to the anchor. A surprisingly fun hard route with good protection the whole way.
