Lancelot's Slot Beneath El Cap Spire
Can you see my knees shaking up there? This is a typical crack on Excalibur, meaning it's W-I-D-E.
No problem for a pair of #4 Camalots, that is if you happen to have a pair!
Tom decided to spice things up for me a bit by dropping one of ours a few days previously. This left me to somehow flail my way up trying to frig a #4 Friend and #5 Camalot.
Sheesh.
I was mighty darn glad to dispense with that little horror show. Clearly, this is the Better Way to turn a C1 crack jumar into an A3 monstrosity.
