Description 

This splendid crack climb would be at right home at Cookie Cliff, or any other granite crack climber's crucible. Well-protected throughout.

Location 

Dude's Jam Crack is one of the more obvious landmarks on the proud south face. Straight and tall, from bottom to top, in the center-right of the face. If you climb to the top, walking off the back is easy.

Protection 

Standard rack, up to a #3 Camalot. An RP is helpful up higher in the "changing corner" section. There is no fixed anchor on top, although before the final 15 feet, it is possible to lean over and clip the bolt anchor for the route to the left. If you intend to build your own anchor on top, a couple of extra medium pieces will come in handy.
