Description
Just a few feet right of '
Thin Crack
', there is a shallow, right-facing corner. This is far easier than
Thin Crack
and takes good gear. This may be an optimal way to set up a TR for the harder route as well, if you prefer that option.
Step up and right onto a pedestal to access the overhanging splitter, and climb up into that as it becomes an shallow. right-facing corner for a few body-lengths. Beyond that it goes to jugs and seams, and can be protected where necessary. Traverse to the left when you reach an obvious ledge, to join
Inner Sanctum
.
The rock here is pretty good, compared to the rest of the area nearby.
Location
5' right of the beginning of '
Thin Crack
' and perhaps 15' right of
Inner Sanctum
, this climb goes up an overhanging splitter (not as wide as it looks) and up to a shallow, right-facing corner and then up jugs, and seams to the ledge 50' off of the ground. You can belay on mixed cams and a cord, or continue up and left through a corner and up a face as per
Inner Sanctum
.
Protection
A rack of medium to large nuts and a set of cams to 3.5".
