Larry Coats and Gordon Douglass on Slammer Jam 2nd...
Description
This is another of the stoic straight faced 5.10s at GM. This line starts off the second belay of the Classic however you want to get to that point.
Pitch 1 (3 total)Climb out onto the left wall via jam crack and continue up and left into another system and follow it until you can traverse right to a small belay stance above corner. 5.8.
Pitch 2. Climb crack to move left into a left facing corner that arches to the left. Follow that to an open belay (gear) 5.9.
Pitch 3 (5 total). Climb up right facing corner to roof and pull roof on the right side. Continue up crack to the top. Spectacular and physical pitch. Site of some really good whippers.
Just climbed the route yesterday. Climbed the 1st pitch of "Reunion" into the 2nd pitch of "Crack Lover's" as one pitch. I recommend this as an aproach. Climbed "Slamber Jam" in one pitch to the ledge. Use long slings at upper traverse. Finished on "The Good The Bad and The Ugly". I cleaned a bit of the route but "Slamber Jam" still has some grass in the cracks. Fantastic combo.
And just to clarify the history, the photo of the last pitch is on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (5.10+), the first ascent of Slammer Jam (Trieber, Byrd) exited on Candyland 5th pitch.
