Aqualung is a demanding finger to hand crack line over on the right (west) end of the Jungle Wall, across from East Of Eden. Start at a nice finger crack in a stem-box corner of golden rock. Crank your way up the finger crack (crux) to reach the hand crack above, which is followed to the rim.

Nuts, small (0 TCU) to large (#3 Camalot) cams. It is possible to place a #4 Camalot sized piece in this route, if you want to take it along.
Aqualung is a great summertime route to climb when the pillow and prow walls are busy. Sweet stemming in the first 30' with locker jams. After the ow pod finish up an easier large hands crack. This route is difficult to set up a TR anchor on. A top belay or lead tends to work best.
a spectacular route- definitely a must-do for anyone solid on 5.10 at the forks. lead it, though as the tr anchor would be really weird and not as happily bomber as your usual TR anchor at the forks.
