Taking care on the traverse

T-Crack Left V1 PG13  CA : Sierra Eastside : ... : Upper Canyon
A nice tall classic for the high-baller. It's hard to walk past the T-shaped crack and not hop on the opening moves. Stand-start on slanting edges dwon and right of the crack and make a move up left to gain the crack. Climb the crack with great finger-locks (crux) to the rest at the "Intersection" at 18 feet.
