MapDescription
Fun hand crack on the east side of Eagle Lake Buttress. Not worth the approach alone, but worth doing the climb if you're already up at the buttress.
Traverse up diagonally from climbers right and enter the crack about 15' high. Crack width is variable from hand to offwidth. Main crack takes 1.5"-3"
Easy walkoff up top, and good protection to set a TR anchor.
Location
Base of climb is located at 38.947631, -120.133066. Approach is a lengthy 3rd/4th class scramble up from Eagle Lake or a slightly shorter off trail scramble up a kind of brushy gully.
Protection
1"-3" for the crack, maybe a set of nuts for a TR anchor
