BETA PHOTO: Hans Solo, 5.9-


Description 

In the middle of the right-half of Zippy Rock is a crack that turns into a left-facing flake and then tops out as a low-angled hand crack: this is Hans Solo. This route is short, fun, and easy to protect. Maybe really 5.8. Scramble down ramp/chimney to the south.

med nuts to start, large cams to finish

Short but fun. Extra half star relative to other climbs in the area. Pretty good rock (great considering the area). Easy for the grade.

Felt short, even for Jtree standards. The rock quality appears questionable from a distance, but is good upon closer inspection.
