Description

Thin Cracks is a great route that starts by climbing up and left to a small pine tree located under a overhang. Clip a bolt 6 feet above the upper spruce then pull the large roof using an awesome crack with fun jams. The second bolt/Chain is just above the lip. Continue straight up the face and arete trending left under an upper overhang and on to the anchor. This is a 40m route so rap with two ropes.

Location

Follow the approach trail up and right to the middle of the main climbing area amphitheater. Scramble onto a large ramp and follow it 45 degrees up and back left. Thin Cracks is the highest route on the ramp and starts near the small pine trees.

Protection

2 Ropes, 14 Bolts, Gear to 1", 2 Bolt Chain Anchor

[Hide Comment] Fantastic and very well protected. Some finger size pieces are nice at the start though a 2 or 3 bd is nice for the first roof. Bring slings and an 80m rope. May 13, 2018
