Very Nice Crack

It's name speaks true indeed. This is the "very nice crack" to the left of the mouth of the Northwest Passage Gully.

From the ledge grunt through tough fingers and ring-locks up a steep start to a wider and more moderate top on perfect hands and fists... top it out and belay from the top... This would be a 4 star route if it was cleaner and had a lower off anchor (edit- brand new glue-in top anchors added)... the bottom is nice and clean the top out is very dirty...

Definitely a contender for the best crack at rumney but Blackjack still wins it every time...

Head up along the left edge of the steep gully a little until you can scramble left on to the ledge to belay and sink you fingers in to this beauty...

A small rack of cams from fingers to wide hands... Belay in crack on the ledge... Rap off of a near by tree or walk off to the left hooking up with a trail that brings you back around...
