BETA PHOTO: The huecoed Solosby Face


Description 

This small, overhanging face lies hidden up and left of the Tumbling Rainbow formation. Bebop Tango (5.11a) and Latin Swing (5.11b) lie on the right section and are the best climbs here. Slam Dance (5.11c), and Solosby (5.10b R) are lie to the left and are worth doing, but seldom done.


Getting There 

If you downclimb off the Tumbling Rainbow formation (down and left), you end up passing directly in front of this juggy face. To reach it from below, hike up toward the Tumbling Rainbow formation, but before you head up and right to that rock, head up and left into a cave-like feature. Tunnel through, and you end up below this short overhaging wall.

Unusual for J-tree: a steep juggy sport climb! It is located in a shady corridor so it could be either chilly or perfect, depending on the temps....[more]
