Description
Criminal Mischief is quite the challenge to those of us sport climbers who lack great jamming ability. Start up the easy ledges right of Great Escape, and jam your way up to some sloping holds, followed by more sloping /jamming holds, finally to a phenomenal hand jam at the horizontal roof. This is quite the exciting clip, hanging from the one hand jam and rare to find on a sport climb. Follow this with a crazy section of fist jamming to pull the final lip. All in all, a great route, difficult for the grade, and a jamming challenge. Two stars for some awkward moves, but highly recommended.
