Description:

A beautiful 50ft crack/lieback that sits inside a dihedral. The crack gets progressively wider from bottom to top and has spit out many, many climbers. There is a link to a picture of the route above. Measured the route with my 60 meter rope, and the climb is exactly half the distance from the midpoint to the end of the rope. 50ft even.

Descent Options:

walk off

4 out of 5 stars Like a machine...

It is a beautiful crack. But, I agree with the earlier poster - it would have been nicer to need more creativity to send. It's just liebacking all the way up.

Topping out was the only creative part... and hard after liebacking for so long ;)
