Description

"The Generator Crack of Tuolumne". An obvious, splitter off-width crack with a slightly overhanging, fists crux.

The crag is 30 seconds from the road, and also features a short face climbing TR.

Getting There

Galen's crack is about half of a mile down the road (heading West) past Lamb Dome, or somewhere after Low Profile Dome if you're heading East. There's a small pullout to park in...you should be able to see the obvious splitter crack from your car.
