Chrysler Crack,
5.9 FA: Randal Grandstaff, Jon Martinet, 1970's |
Getting
to the route and gear beta: Gear: Wild Country #6, a giant tube (like 8" or larger) and then a couple of small to med nuts and maybe a .5" TCU or similar. If you have any dreams of protecting the middle to upper portion of this crack, have something in the 9" to 13" range or forget about it... Anchor takes med nuts to a 2" cam about 20 feet back from the top out. To TR you will need a long extendo runner in the 20ft range. |

Additional notes and strategy: The rock is really clean
and smooth, especially compared to the surrounding features. With
the crack starting wide from the get go, don\'t be shy about burning
your #6 Wild Country early. It will only fit down at the start of
the route.
