Crack a Smile

FA unknown

Description

I haven't been able to find out any history on this route; Chris Watford (Dixie Cragger's Atlas) says people have been climbing it for years, but he's never heard of a name for it or who did the FA. I got tired of calling it un-named, so I just gave it one. It didn't rate inclusion in the guide book, but it's a fun line nevertheless, and the good opportunities for protection make it a nice choice for the novice trad leader.

Starting about 20' right of the Standard Route boulder, you'll see an obvious zig-zagging vertical crack system. Follow this up the face and on to the top.

Location

Starts between the Standard Route's alternate start and Lands of Time. Rap from bolted anchors.

Protection

Plentiful; medium cams and passive pro. New bolted anchors at the top.
