Description
From the top of "Hermaphrodite Flake", climb up and slightly right to a bolt, forty feet out. Diagonal right, eighty feet (5.6R) to a belay.
The next pitch is protected by two bolts and ends at a short crack.
Scrambling leads to the top.
DESCENT: Either walk off down and left staying under the headwall until it seems reasonable to cut down or follow a series of raps to a big sandy ledge.
RAP DESCENT: Head west and beneath the headwall where you'll find a small tree. There is a rap station 4’ to 5’ to climber’s right of tree. Please use instead of tree. Using two 60 meter ropes, rap down under the headwall, past a short vertical section to a rap station that is discreetly tucked up under the headwall. (hard to see until you're right on it) From here rap straight down to the anchor at the top of Jabberwalky. (at the top of a small arch feature, this anchor is also hard to see until you're right on it.) From here - a short rap to a station and then a 60m rap lead down Aoxomoxoa to the big sandy ledge.
The rap is highly suggested if climbing with children or not familiar with Tuolumne friction.
