The Grack - Left Side

An easy start leads to a wild and improbable second pitch.

This climb is located immediately left of the Grack Center route. The best start is on the very large platform left of the Grack gully/dihedral, because a 60 meter rope won't reach the P1 belay from the bottom of the Grack gully/dihedral (unless you simul-climb 25 feet).

P1 - Shares much of the same crack as the Grack Center. Head up a gentle left facing dihedral to the bushy eucalyptus tree with slings & rappel rings. Traverse one move right into a crack about 50 feet before the tree (5.6), or head directly to the tree and straight up a jagged hand crack (5.5). 190 feet.

P2 – Gently climb through the eucalyptus tree and up a steep/slightly overhanging left facing dihedral (5.7). A final tricky mantel move, which will definitely get your attention, gets you out of the dihedral and onto 4th class terrain. Head up and right to a large block with runners for the belay. 140 feet.

Standard rack to 3”.
