| Use care when leading. I have herd that the flake moves/flexes and if you fall, it may rip out your pro. |

| I can verify Frank's comment. I was leading Strawberry Jam yesterday, stuck a blue #3 Camalot into the wide spot under the flake and it looked and felt like a perfect placement. I climbed past it, fell, and the cam popped. No problem. I had more gear in the main crack below but won't place under that flake again. |

| I led the Jam this past Saturday, and the mindset I had was to place pro either below or above the pod/flake area. There are plenty of solid placements above and below. And the flake provides great hands for placing. Gorgeous route! |

| Awesome route! I wasn't ready for the pump I felt and took my first lead fall just bellow the flake. Fell on a #2C4 and it safe and clean! I finished the beautiful climb and will be itching to go back for the red point. As of 10/30/10 (when we climbed it) the bolts had been cut off at the top. We slung a horn with webbing and backed up by a well placed stopper to rappel off the back side. |

| The bolts have not been cut off. They are still there. |

| There was indeed a chopped bolt just at the top of the climb where the crack bends left. Maybe the bolts I was supposed to use were at the very top if we chose to climb the 5.10 variation? |

| As of 12/15 there were 3 brand new looking bolts at the shared anchor for the pinnacle (traverse right from where the crack ends - you'll see it). Fun route - powerful moves on super featured rock. |
