Black Crack

FA Eric Forney and Mike Hankins, 2006
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Begin just a few feet left of Corner Man and carefully traverse left along a horizontal break to gain the base of a crack splitting the obvious black water streak. You’ll encounter plenty of sustained wide hands to fist jamming on this one, although the crux is a short section at 30’ where the crack pinches down for a few moves. Save a 4.5”-5” piece to throw in the short section of off-width that immediately follows the crux. The last 30' is sustained 5.9 wide-hands goodness. Quality!

Location

This route begins a short ways up a low-angle slab that begins about 25' right of Fight Club.

Descent: A short downclimb off the southwest corner of the rock gets you to the ground. Hike downhill, staying close to the cliff, and then carefully scramble down the aforementioned low-angle slab to the base of the route.

Protection

Cams from 3/4" to 5". Double or triple set of #2-#4 Camalots. Gear anchor.
