Crucible, The

The Crucible is a just 6-7 minutes downhill of Pirates Landing parking and has a protected hedge of trees around it to provide good shade and a nice wind block while you work the 5.11s Gimme Your Lunch Money and Blood Pact. There’s a jugfest 5.5 just a few steps north called Xenia and open finger crack and offwidth lines just down the crag yet to be done. Multiple highball boulders and lines exist for new problems. Good vibes in the alcove, good views of lake Lawtonka and Elmer Thomas and a mix of very hard lines and easier ones too.Miles found these lines in April of 2020, cleaned them of choss flakes and loose chockstones and gave an initial wake up burn to Gimme. He showed them to Alex Mitchell and John Lozano on October 7th when the first burns of Blood Pact took place and not much was accomplished except a good dose of humility. 6 months and quite a few sessions later both 5.11s got their FFAs in late 2020 - spring 2021.

We’re stoked to finally share these climbs so please go check them out!For TR anchors and rapping in, there is a convenient boulder to sling with 240-480 cm slings and a cedar tree to utilize for either end of a J-Tree style anchor using a static rope. Please do not rap down directly off this tree - a nice soft quad should be used if the tree is used at all. Anchors to Gimme Your Lunch Money and Blood Pact can be built on the boulder alone and simply re-oriented from south to east quickly. 25-35m of static line will allow a completely redundant BFK style anchor. Half of that length can be used for a simpler 2 strand anchor from the boulder alone.
