Christmas Crack

Great crack climb, that evolves into easy face climbing above the short crack.

Work into crack and throw a solid left handed jam in crack and use features in crack to work feet up to a smear...throw your right hand to a high crimp just outside of the crack on the right wall.

Try not to put a cam in your best jam spot.

According to Tindell, its "harder" if you stay in the crack, but I have never done it that way.

Route is on Left/West face of the Island, about 10' from the arete and the corridor.

Crack takes cams nicely (med cams at base of crack, smaller higher in crack) and plenty of placements on face above. Can set up a TR on top rather easily (have to jump across to the Island)
