Description
White Spider is the vegetated thin crack just to the right of Pipe Cleaner. It's not as dirty as it looks, and provides a nice option when the more popular lines are full. Protection is a little tricky and sparse in places, and due to lower traffic may have a little more friable rock than adjacent routes. There is a short runout section about 30' up with potential ground fall exposure. Not recommended for the budding leader.
Location
Obvious grassy thin crack just to the right of Pipe Cleaner. It's a little tricky to stem over standing water around bushes right at the base, and belayer may have to stand ~10-15' back from the wall to stay dry.
Protection
Single rack to #2, thin pieces are very helpful on lower half of pitch. Double-rope rappel from the anchors at the top of Pipe Cleaner.
