Getting to the top of the wall with P-wall behind

Description 

This is not technically a seperate wall and could probably fit under the Ycrack area, but it is listed as one in all the guidebooks i've seen. And it sort of feels like it's own little thing.

Jamcrack wall is another chunk of rock, exposed and poking out of Bishop Peak. It gets its tag from the obvious splitter, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Hand Jam. Kind of get a sense of seclusion up there

A topo by John Knight can be found under the 'Y-crack area'


Getting There 

Head up to the base of P-wall and keep going up the left side. You will soon reach Garden Wall. Scooch along the base going away from P-wall. Jamcrack Wall will follow on your right. You will be on the uphill side and very close to Midnight Spire.

Reach for some fist/arm jams and pull the crux, while imagining being on the FA solo. Struggle on up to a good stance and continue to the top of the crack. Then climb to the anchors p...[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
