A nice hand crack that progressively gets steeper and then wider to a fun offwidth the top. Descent is a sketcy downclimb on chossy rock rated easy 5th class. Alternatively, you could set-up a nice rappel on the juniper up top..... bring webbing if you want to do this. No fixed anchors. Loved this route!!! Wish it were longer.

South Face Crack

North Face Crack

Start up a short section of chossy rock.  Move right under overhang with thin hands and good feet. Pull through roof on gritty sandstone to  an off-width pod and then easier climbing to the top and a two bolt anchor with rap rings.

This is not actually the name of the route, but a logical descriptor so I have used it to differentiate between the other route on the formation.

A short and somewhat silly aid route up Twin Rocks in CRNP.  Free climb choss to a thin finger crack through a roof.  Aid (or free) up crack to lower angle crack and scramble to top.  OK rock quality. A novelty more than anything else because it doesn't even qualify as a tower.  The opposite side of this crack (The North Face Crack) looks like it is  good choice and will easily go free, but it was cold and we were more into the sun than the shade.
