Kit Carson Crack

Description

This crack is excellent!!! Unfortunately the 30 feet below it and the 30 feet above it are not easily protected, if at all. Fortunately the last 30 feet, while only protectable by a single #5, is 5.7 climbing. The first 30 feet is yet to be climbed, but it looks like it will go.

Location

This is the obvious dihedral crack on the wall behind The Phantom Spire. Set a hanging belay on two #2 cams at the top of the crack (or deal with serious rope drag on the final unprotected 30 feet). Then climb easy but unprotected poor rock for 20 feet to a #5 placement. Then crank up on a vibrating finger, and climb up the final 10 foot corner to the top.... Belay off the tree.

Protection

#5 x 1, #3 x 1, #2 x 3, #0.75 x 4, #0.5 x 3, #0.4 x 2, and #0.3 x 2.
