Location Just to the left of Jumping Jack Flash.
Protection No pro until 15 ft, then spaced pro to anchors.

| If your partner wants to lead it after you, they'll be in for a treat when they go to clean the last piece. We placed a piece at the bottom of the far right of the North Carolina-shaped flake and cleaning it meant I had to go back to the far right of this wandering route. This meant I got to do the big swing into the opening under the roof!
The guidebook gives this route 0 stars, but I thought it flowed nicely and was a pleasant and easy climb. It was a great time killer while we waited for New Yosemite to open up. |

| If you stay on the ledge and head straight up instead of traversing over it's more of 10a..ish..
The variation was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. No prize winner though. |
