Abbey Road and Penny Lane

Abbey Road is the crack system starting at left and goes through the small roof to bolted anchors not far beyond. At 5.4, it is excellent for beginners and new trad leaders. Most people just do the single pitch of about 100' to the anchors, but a short Class 5 pitch above leads to easier ground and a scramble to the highest point of the Moderate Mecca area. Penny Lane follows the corner to the right and goes at 5.3, but it really feels more like a scramble for most of it. It goes about 100' to a single bolt/quicklink anchor. Backing up that anchor is almost certainly going to mean leaving something behind. Moderate Mecca Red Rock Canyon NCA, NV-- March 2015
