Sword of Damocles

Description

Beautiful enduro crack that would be 4 stars anywhere you put it.  First 40ft go up a perfect hands overhanging crack formed by a detached flake (Sword). Second half goes from perfect hands to OW into a pod. Go right out of the pod to the chains.  Vertical cardio.

Bolts were placed to protect the flake section. This flake flexes and a fall on gear in the flake could be catastrophic.

Location

Right of Lava You on the right end of the crag.  Look for a tombstone feature with large triangular blocks on each side. Sword of Damocles takes the left edge of the tombstone.

Protection

Cams from 0.5 to 4. 3 bolts protect the flake section.
