| "Crux at the top of the route. Not a bad route"
I agree, it's not a bad route but the description sure is. This is a classic example of a route description that needs some help. Where is this route? Best I can tell, no such route exists. If I'm wrong, let's post up a better description and particulars. Otherwise, I'll assume....
The name is incorrect. The name is actually "Jill & Drill"
Which is located on the main cracker jack cliff on the far left side where you'll find two short moderate routes (both 10a). A nice landmark for the area is a large shade tree about 15' in front of the start of these routes.
Jill & Drill is the second route from the far left on a vertical wall and is easily identifiable as the entire route angles up and right. It is listed as route #36 in the Burton/Steagall guide to Jacks Canyon 2nd edition.
5 shuts to a chain anchor with a quick link. I'm not sure what's so "funky" about that.
