unnamed crack @ IC

Is there a topo for this floating around?

What is the best way to approach and descend?

The description says beware thanksgiving, why?

What would be a sufficient/ slightly more than sufficient rack?

Will, you can get a copy of the topo in the park when you register for your bivis on the wall.. chances are that the topo is just going to be a diagonal line with the belays marked.

a ton of beaks/peckers would be a good start for a sufficient streaked wall rack.
i would recomend using a BD grappling hook for the 1/2 inch hole ladders on the top pitches rather than baby angles.

the approach is straight forward, hike up the drainage, traverse right along the base of the wall on some ledge systems, climb like 5 pitches of mostly free stuff till you get to rubicon, traverse left along rubicon till you get to the start of the route then prepare to suffer and tred light..
the decent is a different story, with heavy loads it is hellish and epic to say the least.

Cheers
