Description

Start in between the trees at a shallow, left-facing corner with a thin crack. The crux comes right off the ground (unless you cheat and use the trees). At a horizontal jug, things ease off for a while. As you follow the amazing little crack, the difficulty increases as the size of footholds decreases. After a short 5.9 section, jugs lead to the anchor. Rappel from here or continue up to meet the 2nd pitch of

Fallen Angels

. This is probably the most popular and recommended way to start

Equinox

.

Variation to start: 15 feet left of the start, you can follow a flake (loose and brittle) up into an undercling arching right to meet the main route above the crux. This way keeps the rating down to 5.9, but the gear is not ideal due to the fragile nature of the cracks.

Location

Just right of

Fallen Angels

and left of

Muddy Past

, there is a beautiful crack in between two trees. This is it.

Protection

You don't really need anything bigger than a green (#0.75) C4. There is a 2 bolt anchor.
