Description Climb the very nice, Indian creek style hand crack in the left facing corner. The crack starts perfect Gold camalots then pinchs down near the top. There is a nice ledge, and a great anchor, on top of the pitch.
Location After the initial approach up to the base of Desert Gold traverse around to the north(right) on a very loose and broken ledge system. After traversing around an amphitheater start looking at the wall above . . . the climb will be obvious.
Protection 1-2sets camalots from .75 to #2.

| Worth the hike for the best splitter of its grade in Red Rock. Is there another route of this quality in the Park? Show me. |

| I wish there was... A great splitter, but this climb is short and unmemorable. Only worth checking out if you have some other climbs in mind. |

| Well, it certainly is short but I'd be hard pressed to say it's unmemorable. I respect your opinion though because I'm sure you've visited the Creek, Moab, Yosemite, etc. and you can understand what splitter heaven is really like. But, if you're a Vegas local looking to rev up for a visit at any one of those locations this is going to be your best bet at training for it and getting a taste as to what it will be like. |
