Description 

Look for the heinous looking slab that is R.I.P., and to the left of it is this climb. Begins technical and overhung and ends with to a thin slab top. The online guide notes a "great move at the lip where you must quickly shift your hand from a sidepull to an undercling and move to a mantel". Personally, I did the climb wrong and used the face to the right of the climb, than yarded on bolts and used the left side crack for the top. The guidebook ALSO notes that "rating assumes no use of adjoining cracks and faces". This climb felt quite difficult to me, more difficult than 5.12a in my opinion (however, slab is not exacly my forte). I also had a difficult time knowing exactly where the line was meant to go.

This climb is one among many that were established "in memory of Jane Tennessen, addicted to pretty rock faces."
