Description:
Great crack climb just a little left of Cairo. Starts up a short ramp and then goes directly into a nice, steep, finger-to-hand size crack. One of the more sustained cracks in this range. You must jam, no "cheating" with face holds. Jams are all great! Climb the crack to the top of a block. Route is 30m long. You can do it on a 60m rope....barely! Be careful lowering off.

Yes I did whip off this crack onto a blue TCU. Intense! and now its a little mis-shapen. Oh well. Great climb anyway. Cant wait to do it again.

My favorite 10a so far at the City. Agree w/ Camhead - the route description ('if you ain't jammin', you're cheatin') is retarded. And kprtx - if you think this is the City's toughest 10a - try Double Cracks at King on the Throne!!

This was one of my favorite climbs we did in the City, I didn't think it was overly difficult for a 10a though... but I was just top roping it. When I can lead a 10 on gear I'm coming back to lead this!
