Description
About 100 feet left of "Crescent Arch" is a this beautiful crack that extends almost unbroken for 400 feet. The crux is about 15 feet off the ground, protected by a bolt. The route is obvious.
Descent: go descender's right past the ledge with trees, down slab. A small cairn towards the back of the dome marks the direction where you'll find a 2-bolt rap anchor. (walk towards N Conness). A single 60 meter rope gets you to the ground, 50 with some easy down-scramble. If you leave packs at the base of the climb, hang them from a tree as marmots frequent the area.
