Crack of Delight
Aug 2, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Pretty fun actually. Had a bit of rain recently but it wasn't terribly wet. Only p1 &2. 2 hrs simuling in 2 pitches. Follower climbing w pack. Not ideal for chimneys but you can avoid chimneying. Don't leave shoes right at the base, peoples ropes will knock them into the snow.
