Description

P1 - The first pitch of "Crystal Crack" is around the corner and right of the face with Birthday Bolts etc. It is a crack that you diagonal left on with, you guessed it, quartz crystals in it.P2 - (60') Climb up a protectable flake/crack just left of the anchor (crux) to a good horizontal. Move right and then up some steeper broken rock on good holds. Finish trending up and slightly right, passing a big boulder on the left, and topping out to another shared 2-bolt anchor with rap rings.

-- Old (incorrect) P1 Description: As per the first comment, this is actually the description for "Beginning of the End" 5.7, according to Jon Sykes, page 142 of "The Notches.": P1 - (100') Step up some blocks to fantastic holds in a horizontal ~10' up. Move left and up onto the slab, follow the slab up and trending a little left until reaching a bolt protecting a slab crux. Finish up left through some brush to a 2-bolt anchor shared a few with other climbs.
