Chasm Crack
Description
Climb the gorgeous fingercrack from a sit start. The crux comes down low, the second and third move. From the start on a left hand pinch and a finger jam/sidepull, pull hard with a drop knee to a two knuckle ring lock or wierd finger jam. Hang off this for a few painful seconds and slowly cross to another two finger jam higher up. Don't let it pop, and slap to a decent jug sloper deep in the crack. This move isn't too hard, and once you do it, you are in. Cross to the lie back jug and top out on a slightly technical face.[Note- See Comment by John Goodlander about flaky / hollow rock on the top out. R Hall NH Admin, NH]
Location
The last boulder in the set. Head into the chasm made by a huge slab and an overhang. Climb the obvious finger crack.
Protection
We had 2 pads, with plenty of spotters to move them around. The nature of this climb makes it a little scary, as there is a slab behind you to hit and slide down into the chasm. Tape is nice, unless you are Mike Thompson.
