Looking down on the first pitch of Construction Jo...
Description
P1- An easy dihedral leads up to two or three ledges. Pick the highest if you want to do the route in 3 pitches. P2-Stemming in a right facing corner leads to a lieback. Now, power through the roofs above. You will want some TCU's for this pitch. You can keep going through the last roof or belay on a nice ledge on the left. P3- Gun it to the top. P3-
Location
Go down the descent gully and take a left. Follow the wall around for awhile until you get to a huge right facing dihedral. There will be a crack to the right with a dead pine about 100 ft. up. Construction Job starts on the next major crack system over. There will be some bushes in the crack down low.
Protection
Nothing larger than a #3 camalot. Lots of TCU's nice.
This is full value and is sustained 5.9 climbing. If you only want to climb the last pitch you can rap down from the bivy cave and traverse over on a ledge system. I haven't done it but two dudes climbed The Golden Rule that way. I have lots of pics on my trip report here OnTheSharpEnd.com - Construction Job
