Description A cool short crack climb directly under the big fin on Jolt (5.10b)... If it was longer it could be classic but it just ends and you are left wishing for a little more...
Start to the right of Jolt and find the steep crack that eases up as you go... This leads a set of anchors...
If you are the type to seek out trad climbs at rumney (like my self) climb it for sure but dont bother going too far out of your way for it...
Location Between Jolt and Dolt...
Protection Regular rack to anchors...
Climbing Free Range Chicken, below the Jolt arete.

| You sure about this, Lee? I know Chris put up a new bolted 10 between Dolt and Nicky's Crack, but that was a year or so ago. I don't think anyone would retro this climb as it is easily lead on gear and TRed |

| Thanks mark but this one looks like its between Jolt and Dolt... It is a little right of where i have climbed on Free Range but it ends on a 2 ring bolt anchor below the big fin on Jolt... I figured i might have just been climbing the wrong line on Free Range (maybe thats why it felt hard for a 5.7)... anyway, just trying to figure it all out, ill have to look again and climb the new lines... |

| When I climbed the Free Range Chicken I put gear in the corner crack of Jolt, down climbed and went up the face above the bolted station at probably (5.8). It's a fun variation. |

| We climbed this route last Sunday and there were no bolts. There are two variations on the start, a crack to the right and a crack to the left (the latter much harder). |
