Description I should have known better than to get on a route with the name 'junkyard' in it, and no stars assigned...but it was late in teh day and we wanted to do one more pitch - this was close to the walk off.At the upper right end of the W. Face of Freeway wall, you can see a L-facing dihedral formed by a pillar. Just left of this lies a decomposing crack system that can be climbed to the top, with reasonably hard moves next to the reasonably questionable gear. Nobody should be that despirate for another run in J-tree. Go do something nice instead.
Protection A standard J-tree rack and a few long slings for the wandering protection options.

| This was my first ever 5.9 lead, done after seconding Cakewalk. It is very grainy with iffy pro down low until you get to an overhanging wide crack at the 3/4 mark. You can face climb around the crack with a few balancy smears, I managed to grunt up it.
