Description:
Check out paclimbing.com for details on this climb. That's where I got the info. I've only climbed this once and probably won't go back. Whaleback crack is a great 1-pitch climb but there is not an abundance of climbing here. Whaleback Crack is solid but some of the other climbs are loose and dirty.Descent Options:
just climb first pitch. Rap from bolted anchors

straightforward. This really is about 5.5, not 5.8.

great PA crack
the first pitch of this crack ends in bolted anchors. Great crack. Highly recomend but soem of the other crack are troubled by loose, rubble covered ledges. The rock here is shale and is loose in places
