Description:

This is called Sinbad-Herbert in some guidebooks. A fun steep crack, that takes great pro and has an easy rappel off chains. THe climb is easier if you make use of stem on the opposing wall rather than stay in the corner. It's fun to try both variations. CI edit: There is a bolted extension to this climb which continues above the anchor. About 8 draws? the bolted section is 10d, the crack is .10b. The bolted section has bolts right at the hard moves. From the top, you can rap with 2 ropes, 1 70m rope, or traverse right to the groove bolted anchor and rap w/ a 60m. Be sure to do this thing as one pitch!

3 out of 5 stars Just a Crack

This route really isn't all that much fun, decent jams and good pro are the pluses, contrived as F*ck is the downside. If you use the wall to the right you'll miss out on some of the fantastic mutt climbing, the route does get better once your on the upper face climbing but is very repetitive. You'll need two ropes to get down. Only reason I got a redpoint and not an onsite is because I've done the bottom crack before.
