Leap Erickson (5.10b), DQ Wall/JTNP.
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Start up a left-slanting ramp to reach a high first bolt, above which some difficult moves lead onto a somewhat low-angled slab. Delicate moves on small, sometimes friable, flakes give way to a steepening wall with small grey knobs and protrusions that provide entertaining climbing.
Gear belay and then walk right to a rap station located 30' down and right from the top of Leap Year Flake. Note - a 60 meter rope is needed to TR this route.
Varied and fun moves on good rock make this a route to do if in the area.
Location On the long slabby face just left of Leap Year Flake (5.7).
Protection 7 bolts (all 3/8"), several pieces from 1 - 2" for anchors

| This could be considered a sport route, save for the gear needed for an anchor. |

| This route is very quality and sustained for a 10b lead. The first crux involves a side-pull on the edge of a seam next to the first bolt. Highstepping and smearing are helpful here. After a short easy section between bolts 2 and 3, the climbing remains sustained at 10b all the way to the top. imo, 3 stars out of 5. |
