The Eyebrow I used to anchor at top of P3. Was about 130ish feet, but honestly there were multiple eyebrows similar to this one around.

Overkill hanging belay at the top of the 3rd pitch. It had been a while since I made a hanging belay. I kept looking for bolts that didn't exist at the end of the 3rd? pitch (read the guide afterward & it said "natural gear belay in an eyebrow"). And I just got sparkly new C3s and wanted to break them in.

Pitch two of Sundial Crack

more or less a topo. you can see the rings for p1 and p2 from the stance this was taken at. can combo p1andp2 with doubles rack and runnerz. P1 is choose yer own adventure.

Some easy scrambling up and to the right gets you to this spot above the last set of bolts. Sloping, so we stayed on long tethers, but a great spot to hang out, eat, enjoy the sunset, etc.

First pitch of Sundial Crack. Anchors hidden behind bulge in middle of photo.

What I ended up using for an anchor at the end of P3. I'm not sure where the pitch is "supposed" to end, but I may not have gone far enough, since the last pitch ended up using all but maybe 15 feet of our 60m.

Sharing the second belay with a friendly party.

P2 of Sundial angles more than the topo might suggest. Head about 45 degrees toward your right from the anchor....or just follow the swath of lichen-less stone.

The "crack"

Jacob exits the 'Sundial Crack' just as the sun begins to crest Looking Glass.

This is the "crack" on Sundial Crack, Looking Glass, NC. It runs about 20?? ft long through the beginning of the 3rd pitch, if I remember correctly. Also visible are the "eyebrows" of LG, most of which are pretty protectable.
