Comments: Agreed. This is one of the coolest finger/hand cracks in JT... sustained nature keeps it interesting all the way.

Comments: i heard this doesnt get climbed much prolly because the very popular Traitor Horn route is 20ft to the right of it. it is clearly visible from the ground 300ft below it. it looks vertical from the ground but its actually an substantially overhanging horned crack. i really enjoyed it, as well as the follower. i used handjams (wide) and footjams on lead. the follower did a layback and really enjoyed. good idea to set up a belay in the alcove just below this crack.

Comments: i climbed it few times, and the last time i noticed that the 4th bolt was chopped. but that chopped bolt is on the easy terrain after the first 3 bolts so maybe someone thought it wasnt needed. i think it should have stayed since it means youre doing a 50ft runnout at the top.

Comments: I thought this crack was quite fun. It can be runout if you dont have a few large pieces, otherwise it protects quite well. There are hidden holds that reveal themselves at just the right time if you look for them in unexpected places. No feet jamming required and lots of hand holds or handjams available.

Comments: The layback just above the piton is difficult (5.8) for me, but then again i suck at laybacks. because the layback section is a bit overhung and the feet dissapear, its difficult to climb the upper piton crack as a standard crack climb. otherwise, protection is good everywhere on this route.

Comments: Everyone says its short and it is... but worth going back to climb and working it. It would be 4 stars if it were twice as long.

Comments: Excellent climbing. The wide section above the pod is 5.10 OW but below it is 5.9 climbing. Good stuff! I would like to get it clean next time... Overall, the pitch is 5.10.

Comments: This is one my favorite climbs at hidden valley campground. i like wide cracks. it was cupped hands for me and used a fist a few times. others have said they used fists for most of it. feet are tough as you enter the crack then it eases off. very enjoyable.
excellent overall! just wish it were longer.

Comments: Agreed. This is mostly hands, but the pods make this climb a challenge. The escaping the final pod involves some tenuous face moves off to the left before pulling back right.

Comments: The route is loooong. My hands are average sized (not small) and this route is perfect hands for peeps with small hands. Nonetheless it was quite enjoyable and sustained for the long face splitter. Some rests here and there to help. Then the 2nd half is the layback (for me). Good rests is the 2nd half. TR'ed this and its my fav 5.11 at the creek.

Comments: Agreed with m-earles comments. Its thin hands most of the way then widens some higher up. First 15 ft is slightly overhanging but its hard to tell from photos. It took some cool photos from the top. Will post them later.
