At the second clip.  Stem to the third if you can manage it and then to the main wall.

[Hide Comment] Fun route. Stay left on lead to get to the bolts, if you are on top rope you can cheat right. Nov 26, 2012

[Hide Comment] Excellent route in the corridor. Stem the first several moves but be careful to get on the main wall before too long or it is tough with minimal holds available.

[Hide Comment] Fun moves and decent slabbin' up top. Stem until third bolt for the full run of it. Be prepared to wait around for this one if hit at the wrong time. Gumbies love to leave a rope up and hang out all day here. I've always thought the 5.8 chimney around the corner is way more fun. Jul 17, 2017

[Hide Comment] Classic Jackson route! Top rope is a real fun climb! Once you transition left, it’s nice and slabby. May 13, 2019
