Description
Crank Queenie is located on the NW side of the Varnished Wall. It is a shallow hand crack that is a bit tricky to protect for the first 20' (sideways-placed nuts, awkward cam placements). Above, the crack deepens and is quite pleasant.
Anchor: slung horn(s).
Descent: scramble off to climber's right or rap off slung horns as for With Malice and Forethought.
