Right Banana Crack

FA Jon Lonne, Dave Ohlson, and Martin McBirney, April 1976
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The Banana Cracks can be a good place to climb on a cold day, as the formation somewhat blocks out the wind. The formation comes into the sun by late morning. The Right Banana Crack was one of the hardest routes in the 1977 guidebook. It is an exciting lieback and hand crack, with great protection.

Location

The Banana Cracks are unmistakable. They are about four feet apart at the start, and then diverge as the right one arches out under a roof. Scramble up from the left to get to the large ledge at the base of the cracks.

Protection

Gear to 4 inches
