Sex Never Did This to My Hands, 5.8+

Sex Never Did This to My Hands, 5.8+/9-, on Vertigo View

The name came from a comment uttered by the second at the top after the leader had claimed “That route was better then sex!”…..”Sex never did….."

Vertigo View is the rock across the gully from Inner Outlet. Sex Crack is a Black Hills Climbing classic sandbag.  From the Classic Crack area, walk to the top of the gully via the slot on the left side of the gully, and then scramble down (a fourth class move or 2). Walk downhill to the base of the steep, left angling crack. Start under the roof and climb out the left side to join the hand/fist crack to the sling anchor near the top of Vertigo View. The route is a lot longer then it looks. The crack opens as it goes in, so pro can be tricky at times. Hint: save a couple big pieces for the top. . This is a fragile area with erosive soil and rare plants. Please take care to walk on durable surfaces and avoid trampling vegetation.

Descent:  Rappel with one rope back to the gully

Gear:  standard rack-cams to 4", medium to large hexes work great in this one.
