Description Suggest change

This fine corner is one line left of Carol's Crack and is most conveniently completed in two short (80') pitches. To start, scramble up and left around the blocks and flakes left of Carol's and belay in the broken area. A moderate (5.8) first pitch takes the crack system that is two cracks left of Carol's, then trends right at about half a rope-length to a belay (this coincides with most of the first pitch of Whine and Bruises and avoids lesser quality rock in the right crack). The crux second pitch takes finger jams, laybacks, and stems up the corner to a fairly distinct crux section near the top. Spiney Norman was orignally graded 12a, partially because of a bit of lichen at the crux. It has cleaned up nicely into another worthwhile outing at 11c.

Protection Suggest change

Many small stoppers and large RP's, with a few TCU's and small cams up to #1 Camalot.
