Ascent Notes for: Double Crack - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.52/5

Do it in one pitch - it's fantastically sustained at 5.8. Lots of jugs, a few loose blocks.

To get down, bring two ropes. I was not psyched on the wobbly chockstones.

Then it backs way off, although what the climb lacks in difficulty it makes up for in length. It's a long climb, bring plenty of gear, slings and endurance.

The start is awkward and harder than you would expect from the look of it. The rest is enjoyable!

My favorite climb, start was scary to me but after about 20 feet huge holds and juggy, a lot of protection here as well.

solid 5.8 the whole way up. I led both pitches as 1 long pitch, belayed my 2nd up, and we descended in 1 rap with 2 60's.

Harder moves right off the ground (make sure you protect your second with a very tight belay). Once you are over the first 30 feet, the climb backs down. But, it's sustained. There are big jugs with some thoughtful moves in between.

the first part is awkward and pumpy, you place gear from insecure stances. if you make it past that just milk the good rests and bring a lot of gear.

don't forget to enjoy the view at the top.

is doubly hard in the early spring. climbed with james.

pumpy, sustained 5.8, a must-do. Did it as a single pitch and would recommend it as such.
