Beautiful crack line on the north face of Red Arch Mountain. Bolted anchors. Pitches 3-5 can be linked to one huge chimney pitch with a 70m rope or with a 60m rope and a little bit of easy simul climbing. For pitch 7 it is best to not belay from anchor 6 but step around the corner and build a gear anchor at the base of the crack.

Descent: rappel with double ropes. From top of pitch 8 walk right (west) to locate rappel anchor. A second rappel brings you back to the top of the chimney. It is advised to use anchor 4 to prevent the rope from getting stuck.

Gear: doubles to #3 with extra hand sized, one #4, one #5
