Not Long Enough

Description

Not Long Enough is a fun little crack, although as the name suggests it's quite short. It consists of mostly comfortable hands but has a tight section in the middle and a #4 topout.

Per Skip Harper: Most seem to start the climb from the top of the convenient block adjacent to the climb on the left. However, if the climb is started from the very bottom, you are faced with a great, overhanging roof. Doing it this way raises the grade to at least 5.10a.

Location

This route is deep in the Hallway. Enter by

The Convict

, and continue down the Hallway until it takes a 90 degree turn to the right. Proceed through a somewhat tight slot, and when it opens up, you'll see a hand crack with a roof near the start on the right side. The crack actually begins as an offwidth, but the climb starts on a boulder wedged in the Hallway and avoids this part.

Protection

A single set of cams to BD #4 is sufficient, but double #2 & #3 will sew it up. There is a bolted anchor at the top which is shared with Finger Snatcher, the 5.11 finger crack to the right.
