The Left Crack

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

This problem starts in the same cave as

Part of a Warmup Traverse

. Instead of climbing out right (southwest) as

Part of a Warmup Traverse

does, climb the left-leaning crack directly above the cave.

Start in the cave, make your way out, and move up and over the tiered blocks following the main crack. Either downclimb V-easy to the left of the problem or continue up to a topout. For the topout, walk off to the northeast which allows a short downclimb to get to the base of the problem.

This problem was called "The Left Crack, V0" in

Colorado Bouldering: Front Range

by Benningfield and Samet. If there's a more accepted name, let me know and I'll update. I enjoyed this in its own right and thus have added it.

Location

This problem starts as with

Part of a Warmup Traverse

, which is directly behind (west) of The Cube, which has

Breashear's Crack II

on its northwest face and

Done Deal Dyno

on its southeast face.

Per

: this is left of

.

Protection

A crashpad. The landing is great, but due to constant, left-leaning angle of the crack, the end at the top is a full pad length left of the start.
