FA Frank Sacherer, Jim Bridwell, 1964
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Ahab is a wide testpiece for the aspiring wide specialist. Begin in a corner just to the right of Moby Dick. After a short 20ft scramble you enter the meat of the climb, a chimney that narrows and squeezes all but the most petite out to the edge. Exit out top of the chimney and enter a flaring handcrack. Continue up another slot and then to the anchors.

Location

The route is located on the west side of el cap a few hundred feet from the toe where the trails meets the face. Begin in a corner just to the right of Moby Dick.

Protection

Bring the big boys for this one. A standard rack with cams up to #6 friend or #6 camalot.
