Description:
Take the South Face Approach and the follow the Ramp to the East Ledges. One crack right of TAD. Pitch 1 (100ft, 5.7) wide crack to bolt belay. Pitch 2 (160 ft., 5.8) simply the finest hand and fist crack around. 5 stars on a 3 star scale. Classic!! Long pitch, take alot of gear, the crux is at a bulge. Summit via the Meadows or take the El Cracko rappels. The rap is one crack right of El Cracko. This is one of the few raps that is possible with a single 60 (chains all the way down). With double ropes this can be done in two raps, and be sure to watch the ends of your ropes!

How do you spell sustained?
El Cracko Diablo 2nd pitch. Excellent route, not that many rests. A lot of the same size pieces - hands to fist and a touch wider. A couple of thin hands to boot. Great climb. Can rap with 1 70 :)

Really fun, glad I skipped Durrance to tackle this gem instead!
Altitude kicked my butt! Used to 600' ASL not 4,000' ASL!

First pitch is el cracko, second el diablo
Great first pitch. Second pitch is strenuous 5.8 the ENTIRE way up. I didnt find the buldge to be the crux, rather the 15 feet below the buldge where you run out of right feet and right hand on the opposing wall. Then the smearing gets a little slick. Great climb though.

El Cracko
Took four #2 camalots and three #3 camalots. Fun and secure, but slow climbing. The stance above pitch one is small.
