This is the more vertical, wide crack the splits off to the right about 3/4 of the way up 465 Easy St.

465 Easy St.

Big off width crack in a corner with a funky start. The start is behind a small flake, stem up between the flake and the corner, and mantle up onto a ledge. This is the fork in the road ledge. From here, there are two off widths, this route is the OW on climbers left. Nice mellow grade, becoming more mellow the higher up you go. Great knee jams and arm bar/chicken wings all the way up.

Starts on splitter finger crack that zig zags up through horizontal cracks to a big ledge. All the cracks give it a blocky, insecure look, but it feels really solid. Right underneath the ledge, rock quality diminishes severely, if you go to far right, it turns into dry mud, just go straight up through the few feet of secure choss and gain the ledge. From the ledge up is a beautiful, slightly overhanging hand crack.

The first section can be bypassed by climbing the beginning of 465 Easy St. up to the Fork in the Road ledge, then traversing over to the crack. Doing this would knock the rating down to 5.9, maybe 5.9+.

A big, wide, cool looking chimney with an overhang to pull over about halfway up. Unfortunately, the rock condition goes to crap after the pulling through the roof. The tight hand crack on the right side of the upper section feels solid deep in it, sink those cams! But the rest of the rock tends to crumble under you feet. Definitely not for those scared of falling.

Hand crack going up a corner, with a bit of off width at the top. Has a series of gentle grade, then steep grade, gentle grade steep grade. The start requires going up some choss and dried mud for about 10 feet, then solid rock after that. The climbing is pretty straight forward and easy, the protection, not so much. Being creative with the gear is a must.
