Handful of Crack, Fistful of Pockets

Originally climbed as two pitches, but can be done as a single pitch with a 60m rope.

P1

Starts on a shelf a few feet above the valley floor and climbs a right-facing crack along a large flake. A couple of face moves are helpful where the crack closes down. The angle is pretty relaxed so liebacking is not at all strenuous.

P2

Not to be missed and makes the climb a much more exciting outing. From the top of the first pitch the second pitch moves over a few face moves that are more mental than physical and are protected by drilled angles.

This route is 20 to 30 feet to the right of the main

Indian Wall

area. It starts on a stepped shelf and the crack/flake angles slightly right. (The left-facing crack that curves to the left at the right side of the

Indian Wall

isn't it - go a bit farther right).

Medium and large nuts and medium cams (#2 and #3 Camalot C4s). There is a hanger-and-chain anchor with a quicklink at the top.
