Description
I'll add this one so people know of another mostly independent line at the cliff that isn't particularly hard or contrived. It's not in the books.Climb the first 15' of Cactus Crack then step left and follow mostly hand cracks on the Right-facing wall, with rests. There's a pretty sweet-looking hand crack section that is a touch too short to be all that interesting. The crux is the start (one of the 2 hard parts on CC); the rest is easier; and overall is an easier but less interesting variation to CC. I'll call it 9+, as the CC start seems to give people trouble, but isn't as hard as that route's crux at the top.You could also climb CC higher and bail out left (from about the 1/2-way level) to avoid that climbs upper crux.
Location
Start as for Cactus Crack, then step left at 15'.
