Description 

Ceremony ascends the low face left of Solar Technology (5.6), near the left side of the central portion of the Atlantis face.

The climb starts on (or near) an exposed root at the base of the wall. Thin face climbing past one bolt (about 12' up) to a thin finger/off-finger crack.

The lower section is harder than it looks!


Protection 

One bolt, plus thin rack to 2". Long slings may help with setting anchor on top.

This route is reall nice and a great intro to the complex and small moves required for 5.10-5.11 at J-tree. The moves are not terribly difficult once figured out, but require some thought and faith in small holds.

The move required to attain the position from which to clip the first bolt are difficult, although the crux is just above the clip. This is a potential ankle-twister.

Not to mention a little faith in that rusty little bolt!

or has it been replaced?

I do not recall considering the bolt to be poor, nor do I recall seeing it and thinking "nice new bolt." All I can conclude from this is that it was unremarkable. If it was an odl 1/4" spinner, it must have been replaced.

The bolt has been replaced with a 3/8"

I placed that 1/4" bolt while leading the FA from the one foot stance. It was a somewhat strenuous drill. I did have a decent spot though!

Reled this the other day. To paraphrase a great movie, "Dave, you are so money". Drilling from stances that many people hate to clip from is true JT hard man style.

another "one move wonder" climb after the bolt the climbing eases after the moe by the bolt, with a good spotter this route should not be dangerous at all once the bolt is cliped your in there, just hang one move then its 5.8 jugs and jams the rest of the way. good route.

As Steve-o wrote, the moves are right off the ground and once you reach the single bolt it eases up considerably. But those few move to that bolt are alot of fun and though it eases up above it, it is still a fun and worthy climb.
