Cackle Crack

This route is on Hen and Chicken Rock, the 100 foot high buttress (with a pointy summit) just below the SE corner of the East Owl. Take the approach trail which branches left about 1/4 mile up the Gem Lake Trail, and lead right to the rock. Cackle Crack is the excellent hand crack in the large, left-facing corner on the rock's right side. Climb it to where it becomes a finger crack and belay on a ledge below the summit block; go north and hike down east to descend.

Bring gear to a #3 Camalot.
