Description Mellow face climbing leads to big holds going out the overhang. Things get interesting around the end of the overhang. Continue up the face above to anchors.
Location Jimmywood. Start up the approach trail to Bear Mountain Picnic, but continue going uphill to a short wall on the right. The route begins in a corner capped by overhanging rock. Look for the bolt line starting on the left face of the corner.
Protection 6 bolts, anchors

| Gave this sucker a try yesterday. The fist three bolts are really fun and pretty exposed, but the roof is KILLER. I couldn't get up and over it onsight, I'll go back and redpoint it sooner or later.
Be warned though, you have to use a loooooong runner on the first bolt if you want a to have any slack for clipping once you reach the roof, but, this pretty much makes the first bolt useless. Don't fall until you reach the second bolt if you can help it, have some spotters ready just in case too. It's a rough walk out with two working legs, it'd be hell with some broken bones. |
