Water Cracks

This route is pretty fun. It’s a little sketchy because of the lichen and the ¼ bolts, but it feels like something in Yosemite. It has some nice spots for gear and bring some thin slings or nuts to cinch off some studs.

Start off with a tricky move and clip the first ¼ in bolt, then I put a cam in about 2 feet above that, then about 5 more feet to the next ¼ in bolt and I put a purple BD cam in right next to it and equalized them. Then 2 ¼ studs that I tied off with a thin sling. Then clip one more ¼ bolt and top out. The anchors are real bad on the route, so I traversed right and put a sling on a small bush and then finished up slot machine (1 more ¼ bolt and a spot for a BD #3 and BD #4 cam) to a solid anchor on a ledge.

Up in the little mini cave just to the left of slot machine.

A few small to medium cams and nuts/thin slings to tie off studs
