Description Suggest change

The Crack Whore is a 25-30 foot off-width roof bouldering problem. Start as far back in the cave as possible and climb out to the lip. A variation "The Crack Head" (11+) is to climb through the squeeze chimmney in the middle avoiding the crux (turning the lip).

Location Suggest change

Take 191 North from Moab. Turn left on highway 313. Drive approximately 10 miles and turn left onto the Gemini Bridges road.
Follow the signs to Gemini Bridges. The Crack Whore is approximately 5.8 miles from the Gemini Bridges road turn-off about a mile before the Crack House.

From the turn-off onto Gemini Bridges Road:
After 4 miles go right at the Gemini Bridges Sign
After 4.7 miles stay left at "Y" following the Gemini Bridges sign
After 5.6 Miles stay left at the "Y"
After 5.8 Miles stay left
Park anywhere you can off the road
There will be a large drainage on the right side
Hike down the drainage to the Rim
The Crack Whore is the on the right

Protection Suggest change

At least two bouldering pads and a good spotter or two.
