Green Jello 

The bummer is that the upper face has bolts right by the Green Monster Aid Crack. How easy would it have been to leave this classic gear climb undisturbed by bolts? That crack up there just EATS up gear (like a great piece every 3-4 feet) and is maybe 5.9 by then.

Jim Knight established Green Jello about 8 years ago. He also did the first free ascent of Green Monster Aid Crack in the 1970's. If you're the Rock Canyon historian you say that you are, you would realize that there is only one new route on this "classic" formation since 1985. I've climbed over 350 routes in Rock Canyon and I think it's a great new addition to this formation, put up by one of the original Utah bad asses. What I find interesting is how much complaining there is on this website about new routes and as far as the Provo Crew waking up, the next time you're in American Fork, Maple Canyon, Triassic, Joe's Valley, Santaquin Canyon, Rock Canyon or The San Rafael Swell maybe you should wake up while you're enjoying the nice trails, routes and boulders established by "The Provo Crew." And as far as squeeze jobs are concerned, take a look at Green Adjective, The Schoolroom Buttress, Crescent Crack Buttress and just about every other crag in Little Cottonwood is just as squeezed as AF or Rock Canyon. All the routes that I've climbed at these cliffs have added to my life. I've seen Jim at every single Rock Canyon Repair Day in over 20 years rallying climbers, making posters, paying for repairs out of his own pocket; and I've never heard him bad mouth a single climb at any canyon. You're only in your 30's and he's helped create your stomping grounds in Rock Canyon and LCC since the early 70's. I also would give Green Jello four stars on this website, I think it's an extremely fun route.

Not a squeeze but rather a beautiful natural line up a prominent feature of the wall. surprised it wasn't bolted sooner. Its not very often that I climb a route of that grade but this is an exception.

The ONLY downside in my opinion is the temptation to climb through the hardest moves on the other side of the arete. But if you climb true, this is a great fun climb. Thanks Jim.

Bring long runners and do this route in one long pitch. Fun exposure and good moves up top. I don't think the bolts are too close to any of the thin cracks...
Watch your 70m when you lower/rap from this, most likely you'll have to land somewhere on the ramp.

This was a very fun climb. I expected it to be longer for some reason, but it went by quite quickly. Good solid holds. Very fun second pitch to stay out on the face. It was my wife's first multi-pitch and she loved it. I would recommend this for anyone looking to get into multi-pitch stuff. Easy warm-up first pitch, with a slightly more challenging second pitch. It didn't feel like a 5.9 though. This will be my new approach for climbing Green monster, instead of the hike past Tinker Toys and up to rap in.

I know some people don't climb the same climb more than once, but I do, and I will keep doing this one everytime I go for Green Monster. It's a great warm-up and we did it in one pitch this morning. Fun. Especially the second pitch. You get a little taste of feeling exposed and the moves are a little tougher than the first pitch so it's a good challenge.
