Description
This is probably Cape Ann's only real splitter. It is on perfect, bleached granite. If only it were longer and higher angle.... The first ascent likely belongs to a colonial era boulderer. Regardless it's a pretty cool crack to practice your hand jams. If you know how to jam, it will be really easy.
One other caveat: Snakes! In the crack! Seriously. . . on my last visit this crack was oozing with garter snakes. A particular large one had wrapped itself around the chockstone at mid-height. The base is also filled with shedded skin. As this face catches the sun and the cracks offers protection, it's a great spot for those ectothermically inclined. If you don't like your jams slithering back at you, wait until the winter months.
