Comments: Don't fall before the first bolt. That's it.

Comments: Also, if you plan on knocking out some climbs on the east face, you can scramble easily over to the Toe Jam/bearded cabbage anchors directly across on the opposite side and rap from them.

Comments: This is quite possibly my favorite route at JTree. This aesthetic line demands flawless style and requires every technique in the book. Put a beginner on this and watch him flail. Put a pro on this and watch him have the time of his life.

Comments: Super tight hands. You will have to layback if you have large hands, which will make the climb uber-strenuous.

Comments: DO NOT PUT SOMEONE ON IT FOR A FIRST CLIMB WITHOUT DOING IT YOURSELF FIRST! This is not a 5.2 climb, as the book says!!! The consensus on MP is 5.5 to 5.6, with a few people calling the crux move 5.7. Regardless of the exact rating (which will always be subjective) it's a difficult move through the crux, with poor protection, and decking potential should the leader fall. I learned this last weekend when I put someone on their first trad lead. They did it, but thought The Bong was a lot easi... more >>

Comments: Yesterday I watched a guy take the big whipper on this, from the last move before joining Toe Jam, the last bolt as his last pro. Kind of an ugly fall when he hit the rope, getting flipped/spun and ending up closed enough to the deck that an inattentive belay could have meant grounding. It's about 5.9- friction at the end of the runout, so be solid or place some gear after the bolt.

Comments: I just did what I'm guessing was the original 1949 route, and I would call it 5.5 and scary (for the follower). Assuming the FA party was looking for the easiest path to the top, we stopped and belayed at the bottom of the "10b chimney". We then traversed straight left, and downclimbed to a large ledge on "SE Corner" (5.3) - then followed its last pitch to the top.
There's an ancient bolt just right of the left-leaning crack on the first pitch. The hanger is a sawed-off piton w/ a hole drilled t... more >>

Comments: up high, imho, but the whole route is pretty interesting. i just hope that choss at the bottom stays there, otherwise, the route could get harder off the ground.

Comments: Crux is by the bolt and just really a boulder problem. The roof protects perfectly with a BD #.75 or Orange Alien right under the lip. Sink a knee bar, hit a jam, kick a foot up and stand- just don't place a cam in your next hand jam

Comments: Jamming a straight in crack at this grade?! CLASSIC. Good route to run laps on solo- just don't be a jerk if there are people roping up for the climb.
