Description If a sport climb can be classic, this one surely is. A HUGE reach down low leads to continuous vertical edge pulling to the anchors. Great route, well bolted, and most of all, tremendously fun.
Location Look for a massive reach to a bucket above an orange overhang amidst the other bolted routes on the lower face of the Rock of Ages. This is where Liquid Jesus begins.
Protection Bolts, about a dozen if memory serves

| I would dearly love to see an 11a climber that can get up Liquid Jesus. It was rated 11d in the old guide but I would be willing to knock that down one grade to 11c if one must. |

| Solid for 5.11c. About 7 bolts.
I think the crux is not the reach move down low, but rather some thin technical moves through the dark band about halfway up.
Fun moves on fine rock. |
