Getting ready to switch cracks.


Description 

Start off of a boulder to climb the left of twin hand cracks. Switch from the left crack to the right crack when the left crack peters out. Walk off right.

Go up the hill right at the end of the road. The route is on the right hand side of the rock and just left of a right-leaning hand & fist crack.


Protection 

Hand-size pieces to a gear belay.

I get the strong impression that neither Kelman nor Orenzak actually climbed this route before including it in their book. While Kelman's 8- is pretty close to the mark, Orenzak called this one 5.9, which is only possible if you didn't actually jam anything while climbing it. Still, a very good route and if you feel solid on 5.7, you should get on it. It is really fun movement, straightforward protection, and a nice ledge to belay from.

Also, the walkoff is more of a downclimb if you go directly behind Poker Face. Just pick and choose your options, it never gets more than 4th class.

Instead of walking off, it is easier to flip your rope up over the big, mickey mouse flake (above and slightly to the right of the climber in the photo). Super quick way of rapping off.
