The Spine

This short, but appealing crack/chimney, protects well and would make a good introduction to climbing or leading. Start in cleft above tree using both walls to ascend.

Variation 5.6: Start from the Acid Rock start ledge and diligently avoid the right-hand wall while focusing your attention on the crack in the left-hand wall. If it was longer and not an eliminate this variation would be a four star route.

Look for the obvious cleft/chimney just to the right of Acid Rock and above the tree next to the Acid Rock start ledge.

The Spine takes good gear. A set of Stoppers and small cams works well.
