Description

The routes on "Crack Wall" are some of the shortest at The Lost Crag. Heed the name of the two routes on the left. You may want to set top ropes on these before deciding to the lead them, especially if the grade is near your trad lead limit. Remember that the short nature of all of the climbs at The Lost Crag are not very forgiving of even a single bad gear placement. The obvious crack in the center of the wall makes for a great first lead for the aspiring trad climber.
