Description 

The most right crack (actually two parallel cracks) of the Triple Cracks, Owl Crack climbs past a very small roof aiming left for a finish of finger crack and slab. A terrific climb for its grade.


Location 

Follow the green trail up to the Triple Cracks Sanctuary marked by three prominent cracks on the same wall. Owl Crack is the furthest right climb of the three identified by a small triangular roof.


Protection 

Owl Crack requires a standard rack including hand sizes down low and nuts up top. Climb up and left to bolts above Grass Crack.

Best route in the Triple Cracks. If the Boy Scouts would stop flailing all over it for hours, you may get a chance at leading this route. Pulling the roof isnt as hard as it looks from below. Solid jams above and below the "roof".
