Description

Start at the obvious crack just to the right of Hag Crack for the first ten feet, then traverse out right into the system of cracks and flakes leading up. A great additional beginner route to the crag.

There are two walk-up anchors that one can use to TR this line, both to the right of the Hag Crack anchor. Just walk up the right side of the crag, then follow the obvious handline across the ledge.

Or one can set up a TR from the Hag Crack anchor, using a redirect to the route's finishing anchors a few feet below the above-mentioned access ledge.

Location

The furthest right route at Hag Crag

Protection

Standard rack, be sure to have some small cams or nuts to protect the crux about a third of the way up.

To TR the route, follow the right side of the crag to the handline on the sloping ledge. This is the handline for Hag Crag Crack, but halfway along it you will see another anchor up high. This will work for Magician's Apprentice.
