Scott set up this intermediate belay on the last pitch of Fine Jade because rope drag was going to be a pain in the butt. It was well worth it just for the position.

Pitch 1 OW

hanging at a belay

Ham or cheese? 5.7 traverse is fun. If you belay at the level of the traverse, a #4 Camalot is best for a safe belay before you traverse.

Rich approaching the crux finger crack bulge.

Some great exposure on pitch 3! Also note the bolt above the 0.5 placement, as it is arguably more bomber.

Out of this world aesthetics on the approach.

Stunning view on our approach to Fine Jade 4/29/2021. The climb lived up to the hype.

The classic approach shot of the mega-classic climb. This thing is worth the hype.

The last pitch...sweet.

Erik Warmenhoven just before breaking a hold at the 3rd belay. Could have clipped the bolt to avoid the swing...

You better hope these guys flying the lawn mower engine machines aren't above your head while you're climbing. They are extremely annoying.

Getting past the OW

Top of the tower. Very windy day, lost the green rope on the repel...
