Hand Crack

Description

Hand Crack is between Blades of Steel and Fear of the right.  You start from on top of a boulder into a beautiful hand crack that leads into a slopped chimney/cave.  You then come out of the cave and follow the dihedral up with some slab moves.  You must do a gear anchor at the top and can also turn it into two pitches by continuing from the anchor up another beautiful hand crack to chimney that leads to the top out.  You must then do a three foot leap of faith over a 50+ foot drop to rappel down Larry’s Folly.  Both pitches have a fair amount of choss so be careful.

Protection

Gear, nuts and cams, no anchor. Walk over to the upper set of anchors (Where lost my religion and Fuson's Folly end). Either bring two ropes or rap twice (through the whipping post anchors) ooorrr bring a 70m rope and do one rappel from the top (which is possible although you might have to down climb a tiny little bit. just tie knots in the end of your rope.
