Mason Earle Sends Moab Crack Project
Mason Earle is one of the world’s best crack climbers and has recently sent a multi-year project.
After three years of effort, Earle climbed his new route at Bartlett Wash near Moab. He graded the overhanging crack 5.14- and said the opening sequence is a burly V8 and is followed by stout crack climbing.

“This crack has the wildest and most sustained movement of any route I’ve ever climbed,” wrote Earle on his Instagram. “And it’s severely overhanging for the entire 30 metres. A true geometric anomaly.”
