Outer Space

One of the better 5.8 cracks at Erie, though comparison to the uber-classic Leavenworth splitter is a stretch. Starts steep and bouldery, then rolls over a bit with some smeary footing. The crack width is highly variable, occasionally widening enough for finger or hand jams. The leader might want a nut tool, as this climb seems to collect leaf debris.

Central Big Snag Wall – the obvious continuous seam/crack left of the bolted lines.

100% gear protected until final chains. A single set of nuts and cams to 3” should do. Placements are adequate, though some are shallow and insecure, so not a great beginner lead.
