Troll Crack 5.11a




So recently I had the pleasure of working and getting a first ascent on one of my local projects that I have been looking at for a while, but I hadn't had the gear or a partner to help me do the route.  Troll Crack is a 25 to 30 foot high completely vertical crack that is fingers width all the way up, which makes it perfect to pull and lean on.  There are absolutely no feet on the climb so you have to use the crack to get whatever grip you can with your feet otherwise the wall becomes a shoe shredder while you smear your feet trying to stabilize yourself.  Overall I would say that this climb is one of the best quality rope climbs in the local area.  Once you've had crack you can't go back.
