Looks like a fairly protectable crack

Too much zig-zag and resultant rope drag for both hexes, cams and the bolts at least on a single rope?

Re: Looks like a fairly protectable crack

Sections of the crack visible in the photo are probably OK protection wise (micro cams and v. small nuts <-- scary in Smith "choss") but unfortunately next to the crux (just below visible part), the crack more or less is not there (that portion in the photo is an easy face). If one clips 3 out of the 4 indicated fixed pieces (that other photo) and bypasses clipping that fixed pin, the rope doesn't really zig-zag as the other photo would suggest (just had to use double length slings). Thanks for stopping by.
