Description [Edit]
Begin up around the corner to the left from the start of Melvin's Wheel at a prominent, left-angling crack.
P1 Climb the crack (and the face below it 5.7) for about 40 feet until it is possible to do a steep move or two up to the right (5.8) and around the corner onto the face. Work into and up a left-facing corner and belay.
P2 Climb up to the ancient bolt, and then head up the slab a bit. I got a couple decent but not totally bomber TCUs in a flaring crack. Then, with your feet at the level of the TCUs, work right across the slab (5.9) and into an easy crack system. Follow this all the way up to the large ledge. Move the belay over to the bottom of the obvious steep chimney.
P3 Climb up past a severely mangled fixed pin and into the chimney. Squeeze past the bottom of the wide slot on the left to a stance, the step right across the chimney to a great finger crack. Stem and finger lock your way up to the roof, which is passed on the left side. Continue to the bolted rap anchor (around the corner to the left at the top).
P3 is a fantastic, steep, and intimidating lead. Solid for the grade, strenuous, and fun. Mix this with the Original Fantasy Ridge to bypass the dicey 5.9 on P2.

P3 is a fantastic crack pitch. Steep and sustained with great pro. This pitch is pushing 5.9, IMO. Jun 14, 2004

Following Luke's line, you can barely get all the way from the ground to the flat talus field below the chimney in 1 pitch with a 70m rope (placing sparse pro with long runners through the easy parts at the start), making it a 2 pitch route. Jul 6, 2014

We were unsuccessful in navigating the descent described. Found anchors at summit, but they're nowhere near where you naturally finish the last (stem) pitch. Scrambled up the choss ribs to a tree right in front of the top-most giant boulder stack. ~ 15' rap to saddle. We walked ~ 100-150' E down to a block slung with several good looking cord & webbing slings right behind a tree. 2 rope rapped down passed terrain that can be navigated on foot but really sucks. From there, a chill scramble back to base of the wall and back up to J&T.
Looked a long time for rap rings described that are supposed to take you W and right back down to J&T. ?? Oct 4, 2017

One can rap to third class terrain with a single 70m, but the pull is notorious for getting ropes stuck. It's better to stop at an intermediate anchor at about 80ft, then rap again to the ground.
As for P3 of J&T - bad ass! The rock quality isn't as good as Conads, but traffic has cleaned this up to be a must-do for the grade. You can access P3 by scrambling up the rappel gully and climbing a short 5.7ish corner on the right to the alcove at its base. Oct 12, 2017
