Route climb the spitter finger crack up the prow facing the canyon floor. Fingers to an easy OW. Great rock. Anchor needs to be replaced, it's really old.

The Guides' Crack

Unknown, aka pack rat infestation

Any guide who is a climber and who has worked in this canyon has surely looked at this crack. The rock is actually quite good, and the climbing is varied and engaging. The thin start is likely the technical crux, but some steep thin hands jamming in the zig-zag crack up high offers a stimulating finish. Expect a little sugary rock, but overall this route is safe, with good protection, and better than I had expected.

This route is 1/4 mile from trailhead on the left (east side of the canyon), afternoon sun. Follow trail to amazing striped wall with finger/pillar leaning against it. This route faces South, right facing corner. Wide looking filled with a sandy loose pillar. Look for stream beds and stay off the soil crust. Ascend the weakness in the steps to arrive at the base.
