Dread Locks

Description

A great overhanging crack system to the right of Death Flake. I think this is a great route, and would give it 3-4 stars except for a short section which required grabbing holds covered in guano. I guess I have been climbing on routes covered in Guano for over 20 years and it hasn't seemed to harm me yet... Go for it, a classic route.

Pitch one is great, for Pitch 2, climb directly up the face and exit on cracks to the left of the summit pinnacle.

Location

Dread Locks is the next major crack system left (west) of The Burner crack, and the crack system right of Death Flake.

Protection

I usually recommend the LCC rack... one set of stoppers, one set of cams from small to large.
