Description

It is the next step after

Orange Peel

. This route is beautiful and bold. Make bouldery moves right off the ground using awkward holds. You can't place good protection until you've made it about 15 feet. Plug in your first piece, then keep swimming straight up into the perfect handcrack above. The climb overhangs consistently by a few degrees throughout. Arrive at the belay ledge above, and clip the chains. Whew!

Location

This is the obvious handcrack on the steep, left side of Cracked Canyon.

Protection

Nuts and cams.
