Description This is a semi-classic Josh sport climb that's well worth doing if in the area. The start is a little reachy (and may seem stiff for shorter climbers), but the upper moves on steep edges are so good and really are what make this route so good.
Anchors are on the top a few feet back so you'll need to walk off this climb (to the climber's left). Three stars out of five.
Location Directly across from the Exorcist facing east and readily identified as a short, steep brown wall.
Protection 4 bolts to anchors (3/8") The fixed pin that used to protect between the first and second bolts has been gone for many years, but really isn't necessary.

| I would think steep sport climbers like yourself would onsite this without a bolt to bolt warm up. |

| I redpointed Jane's this past Sunday. I know the rating stands at 5.11b, but it felt a touch harder than Uncle Remus, which I think is rated the same. Both are about the same length and reasonably similar style. Anyway, really fun route. Just wish it were longer. |
