Left Long Moderate Dihedral (originally submitted as Crack Swindler)
Description
This route is located in the crack directly left of
Cracker Jack
. I originally was going to traverse over to the anchors on the top of
Deuces Wild
, but when I got up there were old hangers on the needle. They looked as if they were placed a while ago but hardly used. Excellent Clear Creek trad!!!
Per
George Bracksieck
: sometime in the early-to-mid '70s, I led a partner up the obvious long right-facing dihedral that divides the
Deuces Wild
area from the
Stone Cold Moderate
area.
Eds. This is a combination of submissions, combined here to avoid confusion due to duplication.
Location
Start on the shelf at the base of
Cracker Jack
and follow the obvious crack over the roof. Rap from either the chains at the top or do a fun hand traverse over to the top of
Deuces Wild
.
Protection
Awesome at the cruxes, but run out the last 30 feet. I used up to a #2 Camalot and only a few nuts. Bring plenty of slings if you're scared of the runouts.
Per
George Bracksieck
: SR, maybe with large hexes and/or cams.
Per
Joseph Josleyn
: the bolts at the top are loose.
