This would bee the large, left-angled crack on the east side of the Egg fomration. The first few moves to the bottom crack on the first pitch are unprotected, but easy.

a good grunt. old school 5.9

Sweet route. It has a little of everything. Probably my favorite on the Egg.

Agree with Troy. Nothing bigger than a 3 camalot is required...placements in deep are sufficient.

Agree on the grunt and not needing anything bigger than 3 cam - how often do you find an OW that doesn't require huge cams?

Originally called the Dog Leg in Smith's Wasatch Granite Book. P1 was 5.6 P2 face was 5.8 and the offwidth was 5.9.

Cheers

just did this one again. Heads up climbing right off the
belay with minimal pro maybe 5.8ish. for the meat of the crack
i went left side in with the crux being getting past a constriction
about 10-15 feet into the main crack and eases up after the big
chicken head on the right side of the crack.
i got the feeling that 9+ was the high end limit of grades given
at the time of the f.a. and know of some 10+ crack climbers
who got shut down on this rig. as stated previously, the route
protects adequately with finger and hand size pro
and should be on any local self respecting crack climbers radar.

Bring a #4 if you dont like reaching deep into the crack for smaller pro. I also found some good gear in the flaring crack at the start of the second pitch. Some good quality rock and a stout 5.9+, i wonder why lol.

Good done in one pitch from the ground. I agree with Fett and was happy to have a #4. Lots of great crack climbing on this.

I was "blown" away by the quality of this line. Obviously the most prominent line on the egg and a quality one. Only one star Brett and Stuart? Stingy choice in my opinion. But I enjoy cracks that require full body intimacy. Tough flailing was enjoyed by all 3 members of our party with the crux being the first 15 feet of the crack. Don't even think about bringing a #5 camalot, and even bringing the #3 or #4 camalots are worthless. I had 2 of each on my harness when I started up and they were still there when I reached the anchor. Definitely do it in one pitch. Thank you Mr. Lowe.

Classic!!!! Must do off-width in LCC, nothing like getting your butt handed to you by old school 5.9+! Definitely protects well with smaller gear, but I liked having a #3 and #4.

**** Because it is a stand out pitch in the Wasatch. On par with Gordon's Hangover for 5.9+ greatness.
