Description

This climb lies on the west side of the rock with Colorado Crack. Walk past the right end of the wall, turn left and after a short distance a wall with a distinctive dike will be seen. A short but fun climb that is a nice diversion from the cracks at Conan's Corridor, especially if that area is crowded.

Protection

3 bolts (3/8"), pro to 3" for anchors

[Hide Comment] Todd did you bolt this ground up? The third bolt is not high enough to protect against hitting the ledge in a fall and there is still a crux sequence above the bolt that is definitely rated 5.don't fall. While short, climb offers different climbing than found in J tree, softer nubs protruding from the dike that require finger tip pinches. Nov 17, 2019

[Hide Comment] Rob: In 1978 bolts from above in JT did not exist... and if they did, they were gone pretty quick. Ground up for sure. Nov 17, 2019
