Desperate NW Climbing?

Hasn't voted

That is one of the ugliest crack climbs I've seen yet (next to the garbage cracks on the Minarets). I see the NW hasn't changed.....

The section on P2 thru. the crux is cleaner. Thanks for stopping by.

	Voted 10/10	Oh yeah, we got tons of choss up here. We also have lots of high quality climbs like the South Face of Prusick, Outer Space on Snow Creek Wall, etc. What climbs have you done up her besides Snake on the Chief?
