Classics of ElDorado: Handcracker Direct

[@JB-rt4mx]

My favorite routes on the Rincon Wall further up are Over the Hill 5.10, Rincon 5.11, and a couple others...1st pitch of Rincon is a super classic 5.9 + finger crack. Over the Hill has a finger/hand in an awesome steming dihederal, check em out 😉😎

Nice job

Climbed this with a long time eldo local. He brought up a small hammer and some water to loosen up a stuck #3 on the crux pitch and get it out. According to him its the 4th #3 hes gotten off that pitch, so your certainly not the only person to get one stuck there

Love these videos- so many eldo climbs are hind to find video beta for

[@jakeoncrack]

@@langdaly I appreciate that! That's exactly why I do them. Hopefully it opens the door for more and more climbers to get out there.

Joined by Jeni, Skye, and Lincoln - Handcracker Direct rips up Eldorado's West Ridge. The only bother about this route is the hike up but once you're on it it's amazing. Even if you're not quite a 5.10 trad leader you owe it to yourself to get on it. You couldn't ask for a safer climb at this grade.

nice climb

[@Ubling7]

it would be awesome if you could make some more condensed versions of these climbs, showing the highlights.

[@jakeoncrack]

@@Ubling7 That would be a great idea, like cruxes, moments and beta breakdown
