3 out of 5 stars Good Trad Practice

Trad practice with Climber Matt. Save your 2’s and 3’s for the second half of the climb. Check out my full description of Main Crack at http://verticalcountry.com/rock-canyon-main-crack/ ‎

this is the first feature to catch your eye as you pull into the parking lot and doesn't dissapoint. Great climbing and secure pro. Just do it.

3 out of 5 stars Beautiful

Great line up the wall. A bit insecure at times but overall super fun crack climbing, you can really get your feet involved if you commit to staying in the crack.

3 out of 5 stars Inside my head.

My head is playing games with me. Took a few practice falls on this route as well as a screamer.

4 out of 5 stars Climb It

Great route,rated G, you can pop a cam in anywhere on this thing. I left the ground a little under prepared though and ended up running out of gear less than half way up....NO idea what I was thinking and I had a lot of small stuff that was totally useless. Nuts at the bottom are nice, but then it's all 2's, 3's.....found a .75 and .5 up high but would have been easier with the right gear. Sweet climb.
