Looks like "First Fall". Karla did the FA on that one. The sport route next to it is "Blue Collar".

It's a few hundred feet right of the sanctuary. It might be "crackin' up," although I'm really not sure.

First Fall is really good. It doesnt let up on you much.

She easily onsighted it and tried to continue to the actual clifftop, but ended up slipping off of some moss at the very top resulting in a huge whipper and a broken ankle. I suggested that we leave the gear and return for it the next weekend. She refused and made me climb it to retrieve our gear and bolt some anchors. I grabbed the Annihilator and climbed up while she propped up her lopsided foot and belayed me. When I reached the ledge I noticed that the #2 Metolius TCU that caught her fall was in a rotten horizontal with only one cam lobe in the rock and the biner was open. I was afraid to weight the piece so I quickly placed two bolts while balancing on the ledge and then rappeled down. The hike out was the grueling part...

not to be an asshole but on "climbing.com" they say its a "classic crack". how can something less than a couple years old be "classic"?

I think the caption said "Muir Valley Classic Crack"... since First Fall is ~ the 5th route that went up in MV, in MV terms, that'd make it a classic, right?
