Raiders of the Lost Crack

Description

This archeological dig has revealed a fun, varied line that keeps providing right up the end. Start up a slab, traverse right along a small roof, mantle onto the ledge, then launch into a fun, sustained section of technical crimps and sidepulls.  Gain some respite on a nice ledge before tackling the final challenge: a fun dihedral with a crack that you’ll probably find much easier if you know how to hand jam.  Don’t worry, we cleaned off all the big boulders so they don’t chase you.  Just don’t steal the idol! 

Location

The rightmost of the new routes on the left side of whippersnapper; starts just right of a large orifice ("Canyon of the Crescent Moon"). High first bolt but easy climbing to it (or stick clip).

Protection

12 bolts, mussy hooks
