The colorful rock of Thin Slice

Beautiful rock and a nice crack make Thin Slice a classic 10a at City of Rocks, Idaho. The route is long and varried, with many good stances for placing gear. Many will consider this soft for the grade, when compared to crack routes in Little Cottonwood Canyon. But it is a great route, all the same. The route is shaded in the afternoon (thus the bleached out sky in the background).
