Setting up for the crux slab.


Description 

Get a Job fires vectorially up the South face of Highlander Crag 20 ft left of Job Review and negotiates the same roof. A 5.11 sequence comes a bit above the roof that is tricky, thin, and frictiony. While Get a Job and Job Review are analogous climbs, parallel, and ascend similar features, it is surprising how differently they feel climbing. Both pack a lot of climbing in 135 ft perhaps because both present very continuous climbing at 5.9/5.10 with brief and distinct 5.11 cruxes. If you are in the area, both climbs are worth a stop.


Protection 

Bring 13 to 14 draws, double ropes, and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.

Up high on the route.The upper part of this route after the crux is extremely ejoyable 9 & 10 culminating in a nice 10b crux right where this picture was taken.

I think that if the face crux above the roof on the route to the right (Job Review) is 11a, this has to be at least a letter grade harder. I can reach the holds and still find this to be really thin, reachy, very strenuous.....plus awkward. The upper part of the climb above the crux is very fun fairly sustained 9/10. Happy New Year
