Description

Begin at the base of an obvious right-arching crack that narrows to a seam just below the top. Initially the climbing is easy in the hand sized crack but quickly becomes more demanding as the crack narrows to finger width. The sustained crux section is protected by #00 - #1 TCU's or small stoppers / brass. Technical footwork on thin edges and stamina is necessary to place gear. A committing mantle move (5.10-) out of the seam to the top adds excitement to this J-Tree classic! The descent is a walk off to the east down a gully system with several ledges.

Protection

This beautiful crack / face climb requires many cams to 2.5" - especially 1/2" to 1". Very small to medium stopper placements also exist. Two bolts with hangers can be used to set up a belay at the top.
