Description
Crack Corner is admittedly an obscure climb that is overshadowed by the several stellar routes on Animal World. That being said, like
Old Dihedral
, it's a fun climb and worth the attention if you brought your rack up the hill.
Crack Corner is the second route encountered on the lower cliff when hiking up the trail, immediately to the left of
Animal Rights Activist
. Look for a right-facing corner with parallel cracks ending at a tree. Climb the cracks and pull through a small bulge about 1/2 way up (crux). The climbing felt a little harder than the 5.7 rating, but the protection is excellent all the way to the top where you can anchor off the tree and boulders. To descend, downclimb the gully immediate to the left of the corner.
Protection
Stoppers, cams up to a #3 or #4 Camalot, and a bolted anchor.
