Description
This is a climb with 20 feet of very good climbing in a crack followed by reasonable climbing for 65 additional feet. The climb may feel somewhat misnamed. Although it is characterized by a crack at the bottom, it is only 1/3 of the climb and wider than fingers for half of that, ranging from 0.75" to 2". After the crack, head up and slightly left passing a short-needled fir to the left side of it, then up and left more to pass a long-needled pine to the right side before cutting more sharply left (maybe slightly run-out, but on very moderate terrain) to head up and left to the bolted anchor with rap hangers at the top of the climb 'Open Book.' The slight run-out up top can be avoided by going left under the pine and finishing via the 2 bolts on the top of "Open Book." Rap 85'.
