46m.
Once a standard-setting 5.9, today Moby Dick is rated 5.10a and is still stout for its grade. Technical climbing off the deck is followed by sustained, widening and sometimes awkward moves. The second crux, a fist crack at the top, is just a hair narrower than a true off-width crack. Bring a healthy selection of 2-4? cams to adequately protect this wide section.
FA: Herb Swedlund, Penny Carr FFA: Frank Sacherer, Steve Roper May/1963.

βeta: Totally classic route. Protect the lower wide crack section using the seam to the right, takes small cams and wires, saving your big stuff for the upper section. #4s ideal but there’s a place for a #2 if your short on the big stuff. | ||
