Short but stout.

Description 

A short but hard crack with the crux right off the ground. A myopic view of "crack climbing" may leave you dangling on this climb!

Location 

The obvious vertical crack 25 feet to the left of Dacker Cracker.

Protection 

A slim standard rack, possibly up to 4 inches at the top of the crack. A strategically placed nut at the very top will prevent the rope from becoming stuck in the crack if you top rope the climb afterwards. Anchor off trees at the top and either rap from a tree at the top of Dacker Cracker (25 to the right) or continue right to rap from the bolts atop Slim Pickens.
