HUMAN WASTE: Human waste is a major issue plaguing the area. The Southern Nevada Climbers Coalition (SNCC) works to provide "wag bags" free of charge in several locations: Black Velvet Canyon, The Hamlet, Kraft Mountain Area, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor. These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out. Consider bringing one to be part of your daily kit no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly. Do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas.
See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.
Description
A beautiful varnished overhung crack high above ice box. Serves as the most proper finish to swing shift.
On the 5.9 chimney pitch of swing shift (pitch 5), stay in the chimney until the very end, at which point you will place some good gear in the crack and do a 5.9 traverse left to an anchor below the impressive varnished dihedral.
Thin stem moves off the anchor lead to a wide crack where you can get a 5 or 6. A couple easy moves lead to a finger crack. Place some small gear and continue up to the base of the dihedral. Fire up the dihedral. To keep it easier than 5.12 be clever with tiny features and delicate stems, otherwise power through the steep crack. Once above the steep crack, 5.8 climbing up a 4 inch crack gets you to an anchor.
