BETA PHOTO: The Front Nine goes right up the great wide crack....
Add Photo  Printer View
Description This is one of the only real crack climbs at the Pool Wall. And, it's pretty darn good. Climbs up the great wide crack just right of the Ginsu Arete (Look Sharp & Be Sharp). When you get to the wide bit there is actually a nice finger crack right next to it, so no wide gear is necessary. It ends at chains on the left wall.
Location This is just right of Look Sharp & Be Sharp, at the right side of the Bay of Pigs.
Protection An assortment of finger- and hands-sized gear.

| This pitch was great! This is not a hands/ fist route more like offwidth and fingers. I would suggest either bringing a couple of #4 Camalots for the offwith section or couple of 0.5 and 0.75 Camalots for the finger section. |

| This can be done with a single rack from #0.3 to #3 Camalot. Two yellow Alien-size pieces are nice down low, and an extra 0.75 is nice, since you use one in the first crack right off the belay. |
