Description Begin by stemming your way up an ever-steepening obvious wide slot (this is where the 4" piece may come in handy, although smaller gear options exist deeper in the fissure). Pull through the bulge, gain the ledge, and continue up the broken dihedral (same finish as for Route 19).
Location Route #20 in Chen/Wehner, as shown on the South Side beta photo.
This climb is also listed as Beverly #22 (5.9) and Jackson #11 (5.9).
Protection Standard rack up to 3" (4" optional at bottom) to a 2-bolt anchor.

| The easiest way to climb up to an anchor on this route is to begin as for "Route 21", moving left midway up. Probably this goes at 5.8, as it skips the cruxes of either route. |

| The route 20-21 combo George mentions, bypassing the Headjam crux, is a nice 5.8 lead if you are looking for one. |
