Crack Wall

California > San Francisco B… > Wine Country/No… > Sonoma Coast SP > Sea Crag

Description

Crack Wall is short slabby wall next to Main Wall with - you guessed it - cracks. Numerous vertical crack systems ranging from tips to, in one case, an off-width make for a great warm-up or intro-to-trad training ground. Leave the 4s at home - the hike out's long enough without the extra weight!

Getting There

Walk north from the base of Red Wall - Crack Wall is the west face of the right that makes up the left side of the 4th class gully that you find. Scrambling up this gully allows you to set topropes on any of the Crack Wall cracks from the two two-bolt anchors. Or just lead 'em.
