Lightning Bolt Crack. Belay on a ledge by a small tree below the crack. Climb broken rock to the crack and layback up to the wide slot. I did the wide slot right side in with good jams for the right hand. <br> <br> Jam to the top of the crack and continue with the last pitch of Handcracker Direct.<br> <br> Just to the left of the route is the V-slot of Mail Ridge.
Good stance above the crux.<br> Photo: Roth.

Peter starting up the route. Layback up a thin-hands corner to the wide slot. Struggle up the slot (right side in works well) and jam the crack to the top.
Looks awesome from the ground....
