Description

Judy's Jaunt is a fun variation to Barfy's Favorite and a vast improvement over the slightly grungy P3 corner/chimney on that route.

P1/2 - Follow the handcrack pitches of Barfy's to a ledge with a huge bush and a large, right-facing corner at it's left side. Set your belay on the right side of this ledge, or climb up to a stance 20ish feet off the ledge. 5.7, 200', goes easily as one or two pitches.

P3 - The Jaunt. Follow clean face climbing and discontinuous cracks straight up (slight runouts here), traversing left at the very top of the big corner. Climb straight up through a steep finger crack to gain more face climbing. Move left again to pass a roof on bomber holds and pro, and run the rope out to a suitable belay on lower-angle ground. 5.7, 200 feet.

P4 - Continue up easy ground to the summit.

Location

Judy's Jaunt is a variation to Barfy's Favorite. Start on that route, which begins 30 feet left of Central Chimney on a boulder.

Protection

A standard rack up to #3 Camalot is just fine for this route. Some variety of small cam will prove useful, probably down to Purple Metolius.

[Hide Comment] This is a really enjoyable route on great rock. Fantastic climbing - way better than the dirty corner finish to Rites of Passage. There seems to be several options as to which path of seams and cracks to follow - but all appear equal in difficulty. Fun fun fun! Mar 6, 2011

[Hide Comment] I climbed this route on Sunday with a friend. The first move off the boulder is impressively difficult compared to the rest of the route. You can stand in a sling to get started, if needed. The route finding in pitch 3 is a challenge, but there appeared to be several possible, fun solutions. I recommend this route, a good outing.

[Hide Comment] Word to the wise: this route gets unbelievably soggy in the spring. What should have been an easy scramble at the end of the last pitch was slick with snowmelt. Can't wait to try this one again once it's dried off a bit. Mar 24, 2020
