I dug out the first Meyers "Yosemite Climbs" Topo Guide, the green one; in the green topo guide, it is listed as the "Sacherer Cracker." No extra -er on Cracker.

A great climb by any name! I've done it several times over the years, but it's been a while now. Since you need two ropes to get down I take a #4 camalot for the first little flare section. Then I pull the rest of the rack up on the trail line when I get to the ledge below the thin section (way less thrash that way).



I like going a couple more pitches to the top of the Slack pinnacle then rapping down the other side coming down La escuela. On the way down I'll take a run on the third pitch of La escuela which goes at 10a and is stellar! If it started at the ground probably be one of the more popular 10a's in the park.

On the trip when these photos were taken Tom Roher and a friend of his Ben "just don't call me dover" jugged up behind me so Tom could replace all the mank sh#t that was the anchor on top of the Slack with two nice stainless bolts with chains.
Here we all are back on the ground after a job well done. These guys were funny!, I was sore from laughing so much that day.
