Description 

Starts to the right of the diagnol crack that the Beast (11b) moves across. Jason and the Argonauts begins with opposition moves on a very overhung face past the first two bolts. The steepness eases off as you pull a two-finger pocket past the third bolt, then technical face moves bring you to the fourth bolt and the climbing eases off as you finish the route. Burly.


Protection 

Four bolts to hangers shared with The Beast.

The start has gotten significantly harder over the years as a few holds have broken. Some might suggest a .12c rating is fair. Great route. Thin, no rests.

Don't know what it was like before breakage, but it feels like solid .12c to me compared to other .12c's elsewhere. Crux is going from 1st to second bolt. Eases up slightly after that if you can find the proper holds, they are very well camouflaged.
