Description
Job Security starts on the right sector by taking a shallow, right-facing, corner system. It can be done in two pitches.
P1 has gotten more difficult with the loss of its hanging flake, and probably ticks in at 5.11 rather than 5.10.
P2 has two 5.11 cruxes, the upper being thinner and a bit fingery.
Protection
60 meter rope and either 15 draws or ten. Done as two pitches neither uses more than ten draws. Can be done as a single pitch, but this produces some rope drag.

I don't exactly know where the first 5.11 crux is on P2 (didn't feel 11ish while onsighing) but the headwall crux just below the anchors probably goes at 10d if you move up and left on some obvious edges and crimpers, which of course steals the show. Instead (and we only discovered this on rappel), lieback right off the obvious rail at your waist and fire high and right to a can't-see-from-below jug, THEN take the headwall bulge at what promises to be 5.11 joy.
SHAMELESS SPOILER BETA: P1, as I mentioned, might go at 10d if you're tall. At the small roof (B3 and 4), instead of reaching up and left to the chalked-up knob, keep your weight over your feet and reach way up and under the roof and use the force, Luke. A little high searching will reward you with the (hidden) undercling of the gods. Apr 26, 2010
