Little John’s Crack (V0) is a classic 20-foot problem in San Diego County’s Mount Woodson. The crack begins with steeper jams before easing off in angle and offering a choice: tip jam/crimp the seam, or layback the offset. Either way, trust your feet. “This crack looked like an easy send,” the climber, Russell Woo, told Climbing. “But before I try any climb I consider the possibilities of what a fall at any point would look like.” Woo said he knew a “cheese-grater fall” was highly probable, and had anticipated such a return to earth. “As for the direction of fall and pad placement, that comes down to perception. My spotter and I thought that I would fall to the side, considering that I was climbing most of the crack as a layback. That’s why the pad wasn’t directly below me. My spotter was prepared for the fall, though, and did an amazing job catching me.” Tap the link in bio to watch the clip. Video by @mbeckerone.
