This was actually a pretty fun crack, albeit fairly wide and (cough) bolted. I can understand why it was bolted, because it wouldn't have taken a single piece smaller than a #3 Camalot, and any gear might have been dicey in that crack. I cruised the route — it would probably be rated about 5.8 at Joshua Tree — Josh followed it, and found it quite pumpy, as it was his first real crack climb.
