Description Suggest change

Still promoting fights at the sagacious age of 90, Don King is also renowned for his timely Shakespearian quotes as well as serving four years in prison for stomping an employee to death. Akin to being promoted by King, this climb may leave you both dermatologically and psychologically scarred.  

Climb the straight-in splitter starting with good hands which widens to off-fist (crux) then back to good hands to the top.

The climb was named for the rope-stretch whipper Manuel took while seconding, his hair flaming vertically in the style favored by King.

Location Suggest change

Don King Crack starts about 15 feet left (north) of Gorilla In Manilla.

Descent: Rappel from chains with a single 60m.

Protection Suggest change

Pro to 4.5 inches.

There are 2 bolts with chains on the right side of the belay ledge.
