Description This route is located just uphill from """Index/Middle/Heel Toe" and is found on a large detached pillar/fin. This route is located on the far right hand side of the Fin, just before an obvious crack, splitting the fin from the Top Rope Wall. I call this route Top Rope Wall I as the climbing will use the wall to the right a little bit, at the start.
This route is fairly easy and climbs just to the right of "Pocket Full...." The climbing is only vertical for the first 2 bolts, very straightforward and short. A little bit squeezed? Not that classic.
Protection 5 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
Location This route is just to the right of Pocket Full of Kryptonite.

| I believe the formation that this route is on is called the Dinosaur's Foot. The name of this route is: THE JOINT VENTURE - concenus of the people I've talked with is 5.9+, one star sounds right. Sport climb with five bolts (not four) FA: Pat Thompson & Rick Thompson, July, 2001. Starts just right of Kryptonite. |

| I'd concern with the 5.9 rating moving over the bulge near the top. A short route that works for a good warm up. |

| 8- for the opening moves, but only 5.6 after that, at tops. |

| If compared to other 5.8s (Stout Blue Vein) in the area, the opening moves are much harder. The route mellows after the second bolt, becoming closer to a 5.8 in difficulty. |

| I loved this route. I agree with Rick and company, 9+ at the bottom, maybe even 10a if you don't reach the big sidepulls to the right. Steep fun moves on good positive holds. |
