Kent's Hand Crack

FA Kent Wheeler, Chris Begue 1980s
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

An inspiring line from the road. As far as a "hand crack" goes, either Kent has hulk hands or the pillar shifted... or perhaps the name was established to entice future ascents. However, the reality is that this is a mostly #4 crack. However, having saying that, it's one of the better #4 cracks I've climbed. Orginally 11-, but I gotta give it an ambiguous desert 10+.

Location

Drive down Buckhorn Wash, .2 miles south of a sign reading "Mossback Formation" look up. See photo.

Protection

1x #3

3x - 6x #4 ( bumping is chill )

1x #5 & #6

anchor is drilled pitons with tat, it's good till it isn't.
