Chocolotate Covered Scorpion Crack

FA Arjun and Marcy
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Chocolate covered as in yummy food, scorpions as in the thing Marcy scared out of the crack. Route could still use some cleaning, but provides an easier trad lead than some others. Cleaner climbing starting in the right-leaning crack from the base, rather than the dihedral, up 20' to ledge, face and arete to another ledge, then a straight up crack to the belay anchors for Frosted Snakes. Will set up rap anchor from there to rap route, but for now rap into the "chasm" from the rings that lead to the base of Centipede Corner and Frosted Snakes.

Location

Directly uphill from the east side of Entrance Tower, it's the west-facing cliff of the Frosted Snakes fin. The line is clearly visible from the upslope region of Entrance and the climb starts about 20' to the right of the trail up to The Lunchbox proper.

Protection

Doubles of .25 to #2, a #3 and depending on your climbing style, a few medium stoppers.
