MapDescription
Northwest Passage ascends the short, wide corner to the left of
Wise Crack
. Wiggle up the offwith, hands, and finger crack to the top. This protects pretty well and is fun for a 5.8 trad leader.
Walk off down the gully. Be careful of loose blocks at the top of this one. It is a really fun, moderate trad route and will get better with more ascents.
Location
This ascends the farthest left dihedral at the Surprising Crag.
Protection
A handful of cams from #0.4 up to #4 Camalot. A #5 can help make you feel better but isn't totally necessary. A few finger to hand-size pieces can help for building an anchor at the top. Per
Shadrock
: there is now a two-bolt anchor with rap rings. Be wary of loose blocks at the top.
