Description
Not a bad little climb. I am surprised I never noticed it before. If it was a little cleaner at the start I would say it was a must do at the grade but alas I cant imagine it will see the traffic it would need to keep it clean.
Anyway, a little careful stemming at the beginning gets you to the crack proper. Until then there isn't much in the way of gear. Maybe 10 ft up is your first piece?
Once you hit the crack it is all jams and jugs to the top with maybe 1 or 2 tricks thrown in there.
Note: The anchor is 2 bolts and a couple of quick links and there is a fixed rope tied through the links right now. this makes it tricky for using it as an anchor for lowering or rappelling. I chose to rap the fixed line. my belayer kept me on belay as I cleaned so that if the weather ravaged rope broke I wouldn't have a ground fall.
Location
As you arrive at the walkway that leads to Very Nice Crack you will see a corner with a mossy start leading to a nice crack system. Currently there is a fixed rope hanging from the anchor.
Protection
Regular rack. I only place hand size cams but there are other options.
2 bolt anchor.
